I am expecting a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Long Buckby. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Long Buckby with a mortgage from Lloyds. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Lloyds conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Long Buckby 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Long Buckby I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Long Buckby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Best to be warned if a new roof is being installed or some other significant cost is anticipated to be shared amongst the leaseholders and will dramatically impact the level of the service charges or require a specific payment. Be sure to enquire if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For example it is fairly common in Long Buckby leases that pets are not allowed in certain buildings in Long Buckby. If you like the flatin Long Buckby but your dog can’t make the move with you then you will be presented with a hard determination. The majority of Long Buckby leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service bill for the upkeep of the building levied on behalf of the management company. Where you purchase the flat you will have to pay this charge, normally periodically accross the year. This can differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common grounds. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, this is usually not a large sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds.
