Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Murton conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the conveyancing panel?
Murton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from directly.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Murton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Murton in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks may not give a loan on a flying freehold home.

I own a leasehold flat in Murton. Conveyancing and mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Murton who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Murton conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Murton, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding flats in Murton with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 50
With just 50 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
