After reviewing online forums for a conveyancing lawyer in Marchington, many comment that I should instruct a CQS assured lawyer. What is CQS?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in home ownership transfers, trusted by some of the UK's biggest mortgage companies. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Association of British Insurers (ABI). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Council of Licensed Conveyancing. Marchington is one of the many areas of the UK where there are CQS lawyers.
I am helping my niece sell her flat in Marchington. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that lawyers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Marchington conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable Marchington accredited person
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Marchington conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nationwide conducted the valuation? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am expecting a AIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Marchington solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Marchington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

I today plan to offer on a house that appears to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Marchington. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Marchington are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Marchington in which case you should be shopping around for a Marchington conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer will report to you on the legal implications.
I own a 2 bed flat in Marchington, conveyancing was carried out in 2012. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Marchington with over 90 years remaining are worth £207,000. The ground rent is £60 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2082
With just 57 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £28,500 and £33,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
