My partner’s sister is a property lawyer. I suspect that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Freshwater Bay?

We are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in Freshwater Bay with a residential mortgage from The Mortgage Works.We would like to retain our Freshwater Bay conveyancing lawyer but The Mortgage Works says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a The Mortgage Works panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and pay for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Mortgage Works use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
I'm purchasing a new build house in Freshwater Bay with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it could impact my mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Freshwater Bay 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Freshwater Bay conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your last Freshwater Bay conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I own a studio flat in Freshwater Bay, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Freshwater Bay with a long lease are worth £255,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2099
With only 73 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
