Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sunningdale

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Sunningdale is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Sunningdale conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in Sunningdale.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a matter reference.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Sunningdale. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you pay the invoice as normal given that all rents and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I inherited a 2 bed flat in Sunningdale, conveyancing was carried out September 2005. 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? Comparable properties in Sunningdale with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2094

You have 69 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
