My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Corfe Castle. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Bank of Ireland approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

You should e-mail the conveyancer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should call Bank of Ireland who may be able to help.

We are aiming to move home in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Corfe Castle. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only be done once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Corfe Castle or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Corfe Castle.

Is it the case that all Corfe Castle solicitor practices on the TSB conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the TSB approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we intend to conduct renovations to our house in Corfe Castle. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Corfe Castle solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Coventry BS would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS panel.

I purchased a terraced Georgian house in Corfe Castle. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Corfe Castle and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

I am looking to sell my home. My previous lawyers has retired. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Corfe Castle if that makes things easier.

I am intending to let out my leasehold flat in Corfe Castle. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

The lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Corfe Castle do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

I purchased a leasehold flat in Corfe Castle, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Corfe Castle with a long lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2077

With only 53 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
