It has taken forever and a day but a loan offer from HSBC for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom maisonette is to be issued by the end of next week. Can you propose a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Belmont?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of a cheap conveyancing in Belmont. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by organisations offering ninety nine pound conveyancing in Belmont. At best, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in extras and still not receive the service you were hoping for.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Belmont for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders The Royal Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Belmont conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more information from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Belmont conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Belmont is amongst the hundreds of locations where the lawyers we recommend are on the panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland.
Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial site in Belmont?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Belmont will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Belmont. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Belmont.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Belmont it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately can cause delays to Belmont commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Belmont.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Belmont is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Belmont are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Belmont 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 Belmont may decide 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 property.
I was pointed in your direction by three or four local property agents in Belmont to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
