We went with a local firm for our conveyancing in Rushden recently. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I noteI am responsible for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select a web based firm advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Rushden?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those cases that abort. Dont forget that these schemes generally do not protect you from outlay such your Rushden conveyancing search costs.
I am helping my aunt sell her house in Rushden. Will the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a required element of moving property. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are using a Rushden conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable Rushden accredited person
Can you point me to a directory of HSBC panel solicitors in Rushden on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings visible online. If you are looking for a Rushden conveyancer on the HSBC please make the most of our facility.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being a right pain. The Rushden solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Rushden I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rushden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My uncle has encouraged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Rushden. Do I follow his advice?
No doubt it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the conveyancer that you are considering.
If all goes to plan we aim to complete our sale of a £375,000 maisonette in Rushden in 5 days. The management company has quoted £372 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Rushden?
For the majority of leasehold sales in Rushden conveyancing will involve, questions about the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :
-
Answering pre-contract enquiries
Where consent is required before sale in Rushden
Copies of the building insurance and schedule
Deeds of covenant upon sale
Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale

Its a good idea to find out as much as possible about the managing agents as they will either make living at the property much simpler or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to every day matters like the cleanliness of the communal areas. You should not be afraid to ask prospective neighbours what they think of their management. On a final note, find out the dates that the service charges are due to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes. Generally speaking the outlay for major works are not included within service charges, although there some managing agents in Rushden ask tenants to pay into a sinking fund and this is used to offset against major works. Best to be warned whether window replacement or some other major work is pending that will be shared between the leasehold owners and could well dramatically increase the the service costs or result in a one time invoice.
