My Conveyancer in Bedfont is not on the Halifax Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Halifax panel?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Bedfont solicitors but Halifax will need to instruct a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing fees as well as result in frustration.
- Get a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Halifax approved.
- Persuade your Halifax based solicitor to attempt to join the Halifax panel
I am assisting my sister sell her house in Bedfont. Does the conveyancer order an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a mandatory element of selling a house. An EPC should be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are using a Bedfont conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable Bedfont providers
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bedfont. The Bedfont property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
I am expecting a OIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Bedfont solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Bedfont solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bedfont is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bedfont are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bedfont you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedfont may ascertain 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 residence.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Bedfont. I have chance upon a site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via web that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
