After shopping around on the internet I have found a Winslow lawyer having made sure that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Winslow surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Winslow has been agreed to, now what?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Bank of Ireland or the broker and finalise any relevant paperwork. Bank of Ireland will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Winslow.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years remaining on my lease in Winslow. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to try and locate and to produce an expert document to be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Winslow.
I inherited a 2 bed flat in Winslow, conveyancing having been completed 7 years ago. 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? Equivalent properties in Winslow with over 90 years remaining are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2082

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
