Do the conveyancing lawyers listed on your site conduct auction conveyancing in Alresford?
There are a few niche solicitors we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Alresford is one of the many areas of where our lawyers have a presence.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Alresford conveyancing practitioners were appointed. How long does it take for HSBC to send the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have HSBC conducted the valuation? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Alresford lawyer on the Skipton panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Alresford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Alresford solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Alresford with a loan from Britannia. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Alresford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Alresford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Alresford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Alresford may determine 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 premises.
My husband and I are 17 days into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to carry out the conveyancing in Alresford. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A conveyancer would need to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental costs and delays. So that should be your starting point.

What could I expect to pay for conveyancing in Alresford?
Almost all Alresford conveyancing solicitors will charge a standard fee. If additional work becomes necessary during the transaction your conveyancing practitioner must inform you in writing of any supplemental costs for any work immediately it becomes foreseeable. Some organisations may agree not to render an invoice if a transaction does not go ahead, others will levy an bill for a percentage of the agreed costs, depending on the stage at which the transaction aborts.
We would recommend that you obtain a few practices to supply you an estimate.
