Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Wirral costs more?
The conveyancing costs on a leasehold property in Wirral is often greater as compared to a freehold residence. This is due to the extra time necessary in dealing with the freeholder and management company to collate the information about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
The Wirral conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Wirral have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my previous Wirral lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to help.
My conveyancer has informed me that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Wirral?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Wirral property lawyer on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Wirral agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Wirral. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Wirral conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Wirral.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Wirral. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Wirral - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
