After shopping around on the internet I have found a Hucknall solicitor having made sure that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Hucknall postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Hucknall.

The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Contact TSB or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant paperwork.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. TSB will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hucknall.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Hucknall?

Hucknall conveyancing on leasehold apartments often involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be willing to do so. They may invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
