Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lydney

We previously appointed solicitors located in Lydney on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Coventry BS but by your Lydney conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I am buying a property in Lydney. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Lydney.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Lydney conveyancing practitioner on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Clydesdale mortgage has been paid off.

My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Lydney and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Lydney. We have lived in Lydney for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

How does conveyancing in Lydney differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Lydney approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Lydney usually acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Lydney or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Lydney I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lydney suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

What does commercial conveyancing in Lydney cover?

Lydney conveyancing for business premises covers a wide array of advice, supplied by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Lydney. I have chance upon a site which seems to have the perfect answer If it is possible to get all the legals completed via web that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
