We had chosen solicitors located in Blackpool on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Nottingham but by your Blackpool property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Nottingham panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we intend to carry out improvements to our house in Blackpool. Are we obliged to choose a high street Blackpool solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Leeds Building Society don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society panel.
I have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Blackpool. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
Your original mortgage agreement with Bank of Ireland will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
My partner has recommend that I instruct his conveyancers in Blackpool. Should I find my own conveyancer?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Blackpool conveyancing lawyer the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek guidance from friends or family who have used the solicitor you're contemplating using.
Last January I purchased a leasehold flat in Blackpool. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I purchased a ground floor flat in Blackpool, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2012. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Blackpool with a long lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2093
With only 69 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as 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 provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
