We were just about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Hessle. We have hit a problem. The loan offer with runs out on but the owners are insisting on a completion date of . Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to deal with your issue is your conveyancer who is in a position to calculate whether they better off negotiating with the mortgage company, seller’s solicitors, selling agents or indeed all parties given what has gone on in your conveyancing as of today.

I am selling our home in Hessle and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Hessle lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hessle. We have lived in Hessle for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 sickness)

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Hessle. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hessle

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hessle is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Hessle are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hessle you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hessle may ascertain 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.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Hessle. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Hessle - 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 invested in buying a leasehold flat in Hessle, conveyancing formalities finalised 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? Similar flats in Hessle with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 50

With 50 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
