After what seems like an age a loan agreement from NatWest for the refinancing of my single room maisonette is to be issued imminently. Are you able to propose a low cost conveyancing law firm in Creekmouth?

You have arrived at the wrong place to search for a cheap conveyancing in Creekmouth. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing companies enticing you with low cost conveyancing in Creekmouth.

My fiance and I are refinancing our apartment in Creekmouth with UBS. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the UBS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your UBS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to UBS. This is solely used to protect UBS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of UBS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Creekmouth is more expensive?

The conveyancing fees on a leasehold premises in Creekmouth is often greater as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of supplemental work necessary in communicating with the landlord and managing agents to collate the evidence about whether the rent and service fee have been discharged and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Creekmouth I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Creekmouth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Looking forward to complete next month on a ground floor flat in Creekmouth. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they are sending me a report next week. What should I be looking out for?

You should be advised what counts as a Nuisance as far as the lease is concerned Defining your rights in relation to the communal areas in the block.For example, does the lease provide for a right of way over an accessway or hallways? Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your premises and do you know what it means in practice? if lease provides for a reserve fund?

Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Creekmouth conveyancing firm who can help.
