Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Keyworth

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Keyworth is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?

That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Keyworth conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I just bought a flat at auction in Keyworth. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?

Given that you have now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to retain a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will have a bespoke legal pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You need to give this to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I am expecting a DIP from Aldermore 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 Aldermore recommend any Keyworth solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

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

I'm refinancing my existing home to a buy to let mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards another house. The area we are talking about is Keyworth. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and link together the transactions?

Make use of our search tool on this site to check that the lawyers are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are the lawyer will be able to connect the two transactions but you should talk with you conveyancer and specify your expectations and requirements.

What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Keyworth conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Keyworth conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Keyworth conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be useful:

    How many lease extensions has the firm completed in Keyworth in the last 12 months? Can they put you in touch with clients in Keyworth who can give a testimonial?

I own a basement flat in Keyworth, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Keyworth with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2093

You have 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.

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 in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
