Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lydney

When scouring consumer advice sites for a cheap solicitor in Lydney, most say that I must use a CQS kitemarked solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?

The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a kitemark for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * compliance with prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol the standard includes numerous firms who execute conveyancing in Lydney.

There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Lydney but how do I know who I should use?

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Lydney conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We are due to move home in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Lydney. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only happen once the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Lydney or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Lydney.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Lydney solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, 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 Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Yorkshire BS mortgage has been paid off.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Lydney?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Lydney. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Lydney is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Lydney are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lydney you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lydney may decide 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 residence.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £275,000 apartment in Lydney next Monday. The management company has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Lydney?

Lydney conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not involves the buyer’s lawyer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries the majority will be content to do so. They may charge a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I inherited a leasehold flat in Lydney, conveyancing having been completed 5 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Lydney with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2078

With 54 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure 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 due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
