My Solicitor in Enderby has never been on on the Coventry Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Coventry Building Society panel?

Your options are as follows:

1. Complete the purchase with your existing Enderby lawyers but Coventry Building Society will need to instruct a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional overall legal charges and result in delays.
2. Get a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Coventry Building Society panel

How does conveyancing in Enderby differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Enderby come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Enderby usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Enderby or who has acted in the same development.

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

Flying freeholds in Enderby are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Enderby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Enderby may determine 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 property.

Expecting to exchange soon on a studio apartment in Enderby. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they report fully next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Ground rent - what is due and when is collected, and also know whether this is subject to change Does the lease prohibit wood flooring? Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your property and do you know what it means in practice? You must be advised what counts as a Nuisance in the lease if lease provides for a reserve fund?

I invested in buying a studio flat in Enderby, conveyancing formalities finalised July 1997. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Enderby with a long lease are worth £181,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2076

With only 51 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £30,400 and £35,200 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
