My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Quorn. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing to do is call your lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively you can get in touch with Nottingham Building Society who may be able to help.
I used Wolstenholmes several years ago for my conveyancing in Quorn. I now require my papers however the law firm has closed. What do I do?
You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Quorn of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously retained, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Quorn
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Quorn conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
I wish to rent out my leasehold flat in Quorn. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Quorn do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
I acquired a ground floor flat in Quorn, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2005. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Quorn with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2089
With 65 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
We today become aware that one of the partners of the conveyancing practice undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Quorn is an aunty of the seller. Is this permitted?
On the basis that no conflict arises this is allowable. Where you are requiring mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific instructions on this. For example for Royal Bank of Scotland -Natwest One as of 14/4/2024, the requirements read as follows :
