Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Walsingham

The sellers of the home we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing firm in Walsingham who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

There are two primary downsides with entering into any lock out contract (occasionally known as a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular by Walsingham conveyancing solicitors as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to secure an injunction to bar the owner disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of wasted charges and, in restricted circumstances, the extra payment of damages.

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Walsingham?

You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel lawyers should you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender and determine if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Walsingham.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Walsingham in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Walsingham. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Walsingham to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

How do I use your search facility to locate a conveyancing solicitor in Walsingham on the authorised to act for my bank?

First pick a bank such as HSBC Bank, Skipton Building Society or Barclays Direct then type in your preferred area for example Walsingham. Conveyancing practices in Walsingham and beyond will then be listed.

We expect to complete our sale of a £375,000 flat in Walsingham in just under a week. The managing agents has quoted £420 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Walsingham?

Walsingham conveyancing on leasehold apartments often requires the purchaser’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions the majority will be willing to assist. They are entitled to charge a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I inherited a 1st floor flat in Walsingham, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Walsingham with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2078

With only 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range 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 due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My husband and I are buying a first floor flat in Walsingham. When we first instructed property lawyer, they told us that they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our financial adviser called yesterday to advise that they don't appear to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Yorkshire BS appointing their own preferred solicitor.

When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should call Yorkshire BS to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Yorkshire BS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Walsingham lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
