My property lawyer in Thorpe Astley is not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd panel?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your preferred Thorpe Astley solicitors but Platform Home Loans Ltd will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing fees as well as cause delays.
- Get a new lawyer to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are on the Platform Home Loans Ltd panel
Just acquired a terraced house in Thorpe Astley , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Thorpe Astley conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Thorpe Astley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

What makes a Thorpe Astley lease problematic?
Leasehold conveyancing in Thorpe Astley is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can result in certain provisions are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property A duty to insure the building
You could encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Clydesdale all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Thorpe Astley, conveyancing formalities finalised April 2008. 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?

You have 77 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus costs.
