Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sileby

We see that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Sileby?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Sileby.

The Sileby conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Sileby have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my family Sileby lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Barclays conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to help.

I am aiming to move house in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Sileby. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this can only happen once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Sileby or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Sileby.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Sileby solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Yorkshire BS mortgage has been paid off.

RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Sileby has been accepted, what happens next?

Your property agent will want to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up RBS or the broker and finish off any outstanding documentation. RBS will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Sileby.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Sileby. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sileby

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I have been recommended by a few property agents in Sileby to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to give any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Due to complete next month on a basement flat in Sileby. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they will have a report out to me next week. What should I be looking out for?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Sileby should include some of the following:

    Defining your legal entitlements in relation to common areas in the block.By way of example, does the lease include a right of way over a path or staircase? Repair and maintenance of the flat Rent payments - how much and what the invoice dates are, and also know whether this will change in the future Responsibility to repair and maintain the building. It is essential for you to know who is duty bound to repair and maintenance of every part of the building Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your premises and do you know what it means in practice?
For a comprehensive list of information to be included in your report on your leasehold property in Sileby please ask your lawyer in advance of your conveyancing in Sileby.

I purchased a basement flat in Sileby, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Sileby with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090

With 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £13,300 and £15,400 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
