Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Swanland will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of changes or require the permission of a 3rd party. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Is there a list of Santander panel solicitors in Swanland on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable online. If you are in need of a Swanland lawyer on the Santander please make the most of our facility.

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Swanland accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Swanland. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Swanland conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Swanland.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Swanland. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Swanland

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Swanland I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Swanland for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but I am based in Swanland. My lawyer (based 200 miles from merequires that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Swanland to attest and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Swanland

My partner and I may need to let out our Swanland basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Swanland conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Swanland 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 review references. Experience suggests 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 consent.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Swanland, conveyancing was carried out in 2009. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Swanland with a long lease are worth £255,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2098

With just 73 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account 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 seeking the advice of a professional.
