Are the BSA planning on creating a online directory to to identify law firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Cimla?
Lexsure has not been advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
A colleague suggested that where I am buying in Cimla I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Cimla conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out important information about Cimla around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Cimla.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Cimla completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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 own a leasehold house in Cimla. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Cimla who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Cimla conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I invested in buying a garden flat in Cimla, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Cimla with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2086
With just 60 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,000 and £23,000 plus legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Cimla. I I would like to check if they are on the lender's conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
One option is to call the conveyancer and ask them if they are on the lender's approved list. If that does not help call us and we can investigate and revert. If they are not on the bank panel we we can help find a quality conveyancing solicitor in Cimla on the approved list for your lender.
