Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Basinghall costs more?

The conveyancing costs for a leasehold premises in Basinghall is frequently greater than on a freehold property. This is because there is an amount of additional investigations required in liaising with the landlord and management company to obtain information about whether the rent and maintenance fee have been paid and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Basinghall took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Basinghall is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Basinghall are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Basinghall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Basinghall may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I have finally had an offer on an flat in Basinghall agreed to, the owner does nevertheless have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Basinghall. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started with Santander?

It is usual to have concerns where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Basinghall conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Santander approved list. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Santander and pay for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.
