We had selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Oldland on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Oldland property lawyer. Some firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I currently have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Oldland. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
You must advise Coventry BS in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
We are intent on selling our property in Oldland and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Oldland lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Oldland. Having lived in Oldland for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should 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)

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Oldland, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Oldland with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2100
With just 74 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
