My IFA has requested my Bedford Hill lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have contacted my local Bedford Hill office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried speaking to your Bedford Hill solicitor about this?. They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
I am intent on selling our house in Bedford Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Bedford Hill conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bedford Hill. Having lived in Bedford Hill for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of 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 sickness)
I am buying a new build apartment in Bedford Hill. 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 conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bedford Hill
-
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? Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Bedford Hill I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bedford Hill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a house in Bedford Hill I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhome move ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Bedford Hill.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Bedford Hill should be the figure that you end up paying.
Me and my fiance are soon to complete buying a house in Bedford Hill but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the owner of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not permit this. Why were they involved?
The property lawyer that is on the bank conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to the bank of any amendments to the sale figure. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the reduction to your mortgage company then they would need to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the lender.
