We previously selected solicitors with offices in Bradley Stoke on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate amount for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Bradley Stoke conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Bradley Stoke. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bradley Stoke conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

About to purchase a new build flat in Bradley Stoke. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bradley Stoke

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Bradley Stoke I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bradley Stoke suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
