I have a terraced Victorian house in Dawley and Lawley. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dawley and Lawley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I am buying a new build house in Dawley and Lawley with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Dawley and Lawley I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Dawley and Lawley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Dawley and Lawley. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Dawley and Lawley - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I bought a split level flat in Dawley and Lawley, conveyancing having been completed in 2009. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Dawley and Lawley with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2098

With just 72 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you 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.

I am purchasing a maisonette mortgage free. I have provided solicitor with 2 distinct forms of photographic ID, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the funds are legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.

In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Dawley and Lawley conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Proof of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
