Is it the case that all Ash conveyancing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Ash. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
About to purchase a new build flat in Ash. 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 legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ash
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Ash before retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you call us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Ash. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Ash to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Ash
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Ash conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
At what stage do I cover the costs of the Stamp Duty Land Tax payable for my conveyancing in Ash?
Your conveyancer should complete a stamp duty return for you during your Ash purchase transaction for you to sign. On completion your property lawyer will submit the Land Transaction Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - as long as they have the funds - settle any land tax liability on your behalf.
