Reasons to use our Thrapston conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Firms that specialise in conveyancing in Thrapston are familiar with the local issues peculiar to Thrapston and therefore you may benefit from better guidance and speedier conveyancing.
  • 2 Excellent communication together with pure property expertise are key benefits that you should value when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Thrapston property deals can become a lot more protracted as a result of poor communication between all the parties. The lawyers we work with strive to make sure that the lines of communication are open and act on arising issues and developments quickly.
  • 3 Retaining the services of a high street Solicitor usually results in a more personalised service. Sometimes when dealing with a large conveyancing firm, your transaction is dealt with by a team of people who check what is happening on the file by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 4 Thrapston solicitors will be familiar with the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and selling agents
  • 5 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Thrapston is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) sometimes falls short of the high standards of professionalism you will expect.

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

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

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.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Thrapston. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Thrapston - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I own a studio flat in Thrapston, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Thrapston with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2086

With 61 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £18,100 and £20,800 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

My conveyancers in Thrapston have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
