Why would I appoint a Attleborough conveyancing practice given that internet based alternatives are so much cheaper?
By all means make sure that you compare conveyancing costs in Attleborough and you should seek a competitive estimate but don’t become consumed with looking for the cheapest Attleborough conveyancer. Identifying the right conveyancer can mark the difference between a smooth and a stressful house move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from a specialist conveyancer. An e-mail can never be as helpful as a phone discussion and can never replicate a one to one consultation. The firms that we work with will appoint you a qualified and experienced conveyancing solicitor that will deal with your conveyancing from start to finish, providing a level of personalised service that you are unlikely to received from an web based conveyancer. Our lawyers will update you on headway making sure that you are never in the dark. Should it ever be necessary to call the firm you will know who to ask for and they will endeavour to make sure that you are in the know.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Attleborough building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Attleborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
My offer on a house in Attleborough has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Attleborough. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Attleborough conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Attleborough. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Attleborough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary house to a buy to let mortgage with Barnsley Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on a second house. The area we are talking about is Attleborough. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the transactions?
Do use our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. On the basis that they are the conveyancer will be able to tie up the two deals but you should talk with you lawyer and make clear your expectations and requirements.
I am purchasing a maisonette with all finances in place. I have provided lawyer with 2 separate evidence of photo identification, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the funds are legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not dealing E's in Ibiza.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Attleborough conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Proof of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering laws.
