Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Looe

I decided to go with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Looe recently. Going through the Terms and Conditions I notewe are liable for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing company offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Looe?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover the conveyances that abort. Also remember that these arrangements tend not to cover disbursements such your Looe conveyancing search expenses.

My conveyancer has informed me that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Looe conveyancing?

The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Principality as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Looe. Are we obliged to select a high street Looe solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Principality do not ordinarily appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality conveyancing panel.

I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Looe solicitor on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Co-operative mortgage has been paid off.

What does commercial conveyancing in Looe cover?

Looe conveyancing for business premises covers a wide array of services, offered by qualified solicitors, relating to business premises. For instance, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of tenancies.

My wife and I may need to rent out our Looe ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Looe conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Looe do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I inherited a 2 bed flat in Looe, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Looe with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2090

With only 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" 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 without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Been reading online that Looe solicitors are more costly than licensed conveyancers in Looe when it comes to purchasing a house. Am I better off using a conveyancer or a solicitor if I am purchasing for my home move in Looe.

When it comes to conveyancing in Looe the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
