My solicitor has informed me that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kingsley conveyancing?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kingsley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Kingsley conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Kingsley postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Kingsley.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Kingsley. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Kingsley
Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold house in Kingsley. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester 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 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Kingsley who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Kingsley conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I acquired a studio flat in Kingsley, conveyancing formalities finalised December 1998. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar flats in Kingsley with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2086
With only 61 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £19,000 and £22,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
