Me and my partner are due to complete buying a property in Tarporley but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Clydesdale are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

The lawyer being on a Clydesdale approved list is required to disclose to Clydesdale of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Tarporley.

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that could impact a commercial land in Tarporley?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Tarporley will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Tarporley. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Tarporley.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Tarporley it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may cause delays to Tarporley commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Tarporley.

I am purchasing a new build house in Tarporley with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may impact my loan with Nationwide Building Society. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Tarporley ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks may not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Tarporley conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Tarporley conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you talk with several firms including non Tarporley conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

What volume of lease extensions has the firm carried out in Tarporley in the last twenty four months? If they are not ALEP accredited then why not?

I inherited a ground floor flat in Tarporley, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Tarporley with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082

With only 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information 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.
