My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we wish to conduct renovations to our property in Kempshott. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Kempshott solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Kempshott. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Barclays be concerned?
Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Kempshott.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Kempshott , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Kempshott conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Kempshott is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Kempshott differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kempshott approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Kempshott tend to purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Kempshott or who has acted in the same development.
I work for a long established estate agent office in Kempshott where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Kempshott conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
Kempshott Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Questions you should consider before buying
-
What restrictions are there in the Kempshott Lease? The majority of Kempshott leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service charge for maintenance of the building levied on behalf of the management company. If you buy the property you will have to meet this liability, usually in instalments accross the year. This can be anything from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal grounds. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a significant figure, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because on occasion it can be surprisingly expensive. Please note that where the lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this will be. For most Kempshottlease extensions you would be required to have been the owner of the premises for 24 months in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension.
