I just bought a property at auction in Kirk Ella. Conveyancing is required. What is next?

Given that you are now legally committed yourself to purchase you must choose a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being pedantic. The Kirk Ella solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have instructed a Kirk Ella solicitor having made sure that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Kirk Ella surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Kirk Ella both have in the region of 50 years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

I bought a studio flat in Kirk Ella, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2003. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Kirk Ella with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2077

With 54 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Me and my wife are soon to complete buying a property in Kirk Ella but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the seller of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however my lender will not agree to this. Why were they notified?

The conveyancer being on the lender approved list is duty bound to advise the mortgage company of any changes to the sale amount. In the event that you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the lender.
