Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Little Mill

I am buying a new build flat in Little Mill and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I have no desire to delay matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

A friend pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Little Mill there may be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Little Mill which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Little Mill should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

Is it correct that all Little Mill CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Barclays conveyancing list of approved practices?

Some major lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.

We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Little Mill on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Principality?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Principality but by your Little Mill property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

What will a local search reveal regarding the house we're purchasing in Little Mill?

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Little Mill. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’spermission to carry out alterations.

I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Little Mill, conveyancing having been completed 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Little Mill with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2102

You have 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
