Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bloxwich

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must vacate my let out flat in Bloxwich by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?

It is unwise to provide notice for your letting until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, notify to your solicitor and ask them to they apply pressure on the sellers solicitors, try to a target completion date that everyone will look to achieve

What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bloxwich?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Bloxwich took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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 have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Bloxwich to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site ahead of a competitor’s?

We don’t give any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £150,000 maisonette in Bloxwich next week. The management company has quoted £348 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Bloxwich?

Bloxwich conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries most will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.

I own a garden flat in Bloxwich, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Bloxwich with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085

With 60 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £20,000 and £23,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" 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 advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
