Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Penryn

We are about to exchange contracts for a property in Penryn. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Barnsley Building Society expires on 24/5/2024 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 29/5/2024. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?

The best person to deal with your question is your solicitors who should determine whether they better off negotiating with the mortgage company, owner’s conveyancers, estate agents or conceivably all parties taking into account the history of your transaction to date.

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

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nottingham where a lease does not meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Penryn.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Penryn building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Penryn conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Penryn has been agreed to, now what?

I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Penryn for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Penryn conveyancing specialists.

Penryn conveyancing for business premises incorporates a wide range of services, provided by regulated solicitors, relating to business property. For instance, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the assignment of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of tenancies.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Penryn. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Penryn, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Penryn with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2086

You have 62 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt 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 placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
