Completed the sale of my flat in Brandesburton last December but the buyer keeps whats apping every few hours complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
After completion of your disposal your conveyancer is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where appropriate, your lawyer must also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Brandesburton.
There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Brandesburton but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Brandesburton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Virgin Money, do Brandesburton lawyers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I have paid off my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Brandesburton lawyer on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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 HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Brandesburton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Brandesburton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brandesburton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brandesburton 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 property.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to let out our Brandesburton 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Brandesburton conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Brandesburton do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Brandesburton, conveyancing having been completed April 1996. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Brandesburton with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092
You have 67 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
