My IFA has asked me for my Corbridge lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have contacted my local Corbridge office but they don't know it.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Corbridge lawyer . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.

Are the Corbridge conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nottingham?

Corbridge conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.

I am purchasing a new build house in Corbridge with a mortgage from TSB. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with TSB. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Corbridge is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Corbridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Corbridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Corbridge 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.

We expect to complete the disposal of our £175,000 apartment in Corbridge next Monday. The landlords agents has quoted £312 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Corbridge?

For the majority of leasehold sales in Corbridge conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

Answering conveyancing due diligence enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Corbridge Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale

Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Corbridge leasehold premises is £350. For Corbridge conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.

I invested in buying a garden flat in Corbridge, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Corbridge with over 90 years remaining are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2099

With just 80 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" 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 detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional 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 based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
