Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kelsall

Is the fact that my solicitor in Kelsall is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?

That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Kelsall conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

How does conveyancing in Kelsall differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Kelsall come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Kelsall typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kelsall or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Kelsall with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Kelsall can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors.
  • If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming process and slows down many a Kelsall home move. If a reissued share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is less than 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. A minority of Kelsall leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers.
