After looking at consumer advice sites for a recommended solicitor in Calverton, many advise that I must instruct a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in home ownership transfers, trusted by some of the UK's leading banks. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Legal Ombudsman. The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Calverton is one of the many areas of the UK where there are CQS lawyers.

We previously chose solicitors with offices in Calverton on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Calverton property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Calverton. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Calverton has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Lloyds or your broker and finish off any outstanding forms. Lloyds will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Calverton.

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Calverton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Calverton conveyancing specialists.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Calverton from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Calverton can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers.
  • In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Calverton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in the first instance. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Organising a new share certificate is often a lengthy process and slows down many a Calverton home move. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is below 75 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.

I inherited a 1st floor flat in Calverton, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Calverton with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2081

With 57 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
