I am planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Baildon who is on the Aldermore conveyancing. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Aldermore in certain locations such as Baildon. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We had instructed conveyancers located in Baildon on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by HSBC but by your Baildon lawyer. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My wife and I are in the process of viewing flats in Baildon and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Virgin Money.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Baildon agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Baildon. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Baildon conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Baildon.
My partner and I are selling our house in Baildon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Baildon. Having lived in Baildon for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Baildon took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
My company is hoping to take an assignment of a lease of an office on the high street. Can you recommend solicitors offering fixed fees for commercial conveyancing in Baildon for less than £2000?

If you are hoping to purchase or dispose of a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a complete business we will find you the right firm.

I am 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Baildon. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?
They would need to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has your loan offer been issued? If so you must advise them of the new contact details and ensure the offer are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid escalating expenses and complications. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers. The search tool will help you find a bank approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Baildon
