Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ambleside

I selected a Ambleside based solicitor for my conveyancing in Ambleside yesterday. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I seewe are liable for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Ambleside?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that these schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Ambleside conveyancing search expenses.

My son-in-law is purchasing a house that has just been built in Ambleside with a mortgage from Clydesdale. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Having spent time looking at consumer advice sites for an online lawyer in Ambleside, most say that I should look for a CQS accredited lawyer. What is CQS?

Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to best practice conveyancing processes via the scheme protocol It covers many organisations who perform conveyancing in Ambleside.

My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Ambleside. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ambleside and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Ambleside in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ambleside. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Ambleside especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Ambleside.
