We had selected conveyancing lawyers located in Almondsbury on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further amount for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Almondsbury solicitor. Some firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Almondsbury. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Not long after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My sealed bid on a property in Almondsbury has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Almondsbury. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Almondsbury conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
We are planning on selling our home in Almondsbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Almondsbury conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Almondsbury. Having lived in Almondsbury for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Almondsbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Almondsbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Almondsbury usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Almondsbury or who has acted in the same development.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Almondsbury and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to commercial tenants, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Almondsbury
