A friend informed me that in purchasing a property in Bridlington there may be various restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external alterations to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Bridlington which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Bridlington should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Bridlington solicitors incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

We expect to receive a DIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Bridlington solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Bridlington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bridlington is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Bridlington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bridlington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bridlington may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Bridlington. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all rents and maintenance charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I bought a studio flat in Bridlington, conveyancing formalities finalised May 2000. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar properties in Bridlington with over 90 years remaining are worth £181,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2075

You have 51 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. 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. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

It has taken forever and a day but a loan agreement from a lender for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom flat is due within the next few days. Could you suggest an efficient remortgage conveyancing practitioner in Bridlington ?
