I am helping my sister sell her property in Ruskington. Does the solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a mandatory component of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Ruskington conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable local accredited person
Is it correct that all Ruskington CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We were going to get a DIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Ruskington solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Ruskington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
I am buying a new build flat in Ruskington. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan.

What makes a Ruskington lease defective?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Ruskington. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
You may have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. HSBC Bank, Chelsea Building Society, and Bank of Ireland all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Ruskington, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Ruskington with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2084
With 60 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
