I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a house in Helston? or Apparently there is historic law that means some homeowners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Helston?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Helston to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Helston is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Helston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Helston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Helston 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 premises.
I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Helston. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as usual as all ground rent and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I acquired a studio flat in Helston, conveyancing was carried out 6 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Helston with over 90 years remaining are worth £171,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2105
You have 79 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range 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. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
