There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in South Normanton but how do I know who's good?

It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest South Normanton conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in South Normanton off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in South Normanton. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in South Normanton. Conveyancing is daunting 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.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in South Normanton

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in South Normanton prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in South Normanton. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in South Normanton especially if they are accustomed to such properties in South Normanton.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in South Normanton where we have witnessed a number of flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local South Normanton conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

I purchased a ground floor flat in South Normanton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in South Normanton with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2084

With only 60 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
