Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Linton

The Linton conveyancing firm handling our Linton conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach appropriate?

Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

We were going to get a DIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Linton solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Linton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.

My fiancee and I are in the process of looking at houses in Linton and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Co-operative.

It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Co-operative, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Linton conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Linton conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Linton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:

    If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? What are the legal fees for lease extension conveyancing?

I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Linton, conveyancing formalities finalised 4 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Linton with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2097

With only 74 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
