Are the Murton conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by ?
Murton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from directly.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Murton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Murton ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can check via the relevant bank.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Murton. Conveyancing and mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Murton who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Murton conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I invested in buying a split level flat in Murton, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Murton with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 50
With only 50 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
