You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Dunholme.

I sincerely hope you can assist me. My Dunholme solicitor is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Dunholme conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. Is my conveyancer correct?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Dunholme conveyancing searches.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Dunholme. There are those who purchase a property in Dunholme, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Dunholme. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading response. The purchaser’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.

Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold house in Dunholme. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Dunholme who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Dunholme conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I acquired a basement flat in Dunholme, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

With just 79 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
