Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Cross

We went with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in West Cross yesterday. Upon checking the terms of engagement I notewe are responsible for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or use a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in West Cross?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead.

My West Cross conveyancer has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

My partner and I may need to rent out our West Cross basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a West Cross conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous West Cross conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I purchased a studio flat in West Cross, conveyancing was carried out November 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? Comparable properties in West Cross with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2090

With only 65 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
