Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Penryn

I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Penryn. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?

The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Penryn property lawyers incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

We expect to receive a OIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Penryn solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Penryn solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.

Our offer on a house in Penryn has been agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Penryn. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton going?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Penryn conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Penryn.

Do I need to pay for insurance to address the risk of chancel repairs when buying a house in Penryn?

Unless a prior purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers conducting conveyancing in Penryn to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Penryn completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 today plan to offer on a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Penryn. Conveyancing solicitors have are soon to be instructed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Penryn ?

Most houses in Penryn are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Penryn in which case you should be shopping around for a Penryn conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the landlord’spermission to carry out alterations. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor will report to you on the legal implications.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Penryn, conveyancing having been completed June 2009. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Penryn with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2080

With only 55 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
