In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Delabole? Why is this being asked of me?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Delabole. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Delabole.

HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Delabole has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Contact HSBC or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant documentation. HSBC will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to get a mortgage offer. HSBC will issue the offer to you and your solicitors.

My sealed bid on a property in Delabole has been accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a tied purchase.

I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Delabole. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Delabole conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Delabole.

Last October I purchased a leasehold house in Delabole. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I inherited a garden flat in Delabole, conveyancing was carried out in 2007. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Delabole with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093

With 69 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to 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.
