I am expecting a mortgage with Santander. My intention is to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Wem. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I used Wolstenholmes a few years past for my conveyancing in Wem. I now require my file but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?
You should call 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 Wem 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.
I'm remortgaging my existing property to a buy to let loan with Nationwide Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on another house. The neighborhood we are interested in is Wem. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our search tool on this page to ensure that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. On the basis that they are your lawyer will be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you solicitor and specify your desired outcome and needs.
I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Wem. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I acquired a split level flat in Wem, conveyancing having been completed March 2002. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Wem with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2085
With only 60 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional 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 placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
