Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tedburn St Mary

I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Tedburn St Mary. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Most lenders would take a sensible view as this requirement is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Principality, do Tedburn St Mary conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

Does a directory service exist listing Kent Reliance panel conveyancers in Tedburn St Mary on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Tedburn St Mary completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 property 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.

Should I be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Tedburn St Mary conveyancing company?

As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may put forward solicitors to choose. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most banks operate an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Tedburn St Mary. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Tedburn St Mary - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Tedburn St Mary, conveyancing formalities finalised August 2005. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Tedburn St Mary with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2089

With only 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
