What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Bromyard

Do not opt for the cheapest Bromyard conveyancing costs illustration. 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 the deal.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Bromyard. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Bromyard?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Bromyard. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Nationwide are being problematic. The Bromyard solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

What will a local search tell me about the house we're buying in Bromyard?

Bromyard conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example PSG The local search plays an important part in many a Bromyard conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.

I own a 1st floor flat in Bromyard, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Bromyard with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2094

With only 70 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. 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. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
