I am selling my home in Wragby. Does the property lawyer have to be required to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
I have recentlybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Wragby for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wragby conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Wragby I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wragby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Wragby which have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Wragby. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

I am an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a property in Wragby which will be sold. The house has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some estate agents will insist that it is in place before they'll proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
