Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Belton

My best friend’s dad is a conveyancing practitioner. I am hopeful that I will receive mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Belton?

Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Belton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Lloyds will not agree to this. Why were they notified?

Any solicitor being on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Lloyds of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Belton.

As someone not used to conveyancing in Belton what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Belton

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Belton and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the house moving process. For instance, the seller, estate agent and on occasion the bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Belton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

About to place a bid on a leasehold flat in Belton. The property agents assure me that it is standard for flats in Belton to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am obtaining a loan with Platform. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 69 years left.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 22/3/2025 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Belton. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I have instructed a Belton solicitor having checked that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Belton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Belton.
