Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aldersgate

I am selling my house in Aldersgate. Does my property lawyer need to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Aldersgate. The Aldersgate property was put into my name in July. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in July. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Aldersgate on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Coventry BS but by your Aldersgate conveyancer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

I am expecting a DIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Aldersgate solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

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

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Aldersgate and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Aldersgate lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Aldersgate. We have lived in Aldersgate for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Aldersgate is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Aldersgate are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Aldersgate you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aldersgate may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

How straightforward is it to use the search facility to select a conveyancing practitioner in Aldersgate on the authorised to act for my bank?

First select a mortgage company such as Nationwide Building Society, Virgin Money or Godiva Mortgages Ltd then specify your location e.g. Aldersgate. Conveyancing organisations in Aldersgate and beyond will then be shown.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a leasehold house in Aldersgate. Conveyancing lawyers have are about to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Aldersgate are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Aldersgate so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Aldersgate conveyancing practitioner and check that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the freeholder’sconsent to conduct alterations. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor should advise you fully on all the issues.

After years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Aldersgate. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Aldersgate conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Aldersgate residence is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 72.39 years.
