Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bicester

Are you able to vouch for a The Mortgage Works sanctioned Bicester conveyancing practice finish our house move within under 3 weeks? Would it be better to use a high street Bicester firm or a factory type conveyancer?

We can recommend some very good Bicester conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the main road in Bicester. Visit a couple of firms and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Explain your time frames together with your reasons and ask for a commitment on speed. Select the lawyer that appears most efficient.

A colleague pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Bicester there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are anumerous of properties in Bicester which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Bicester should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Bicester conveyancing lawyers have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?

There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB completed the survey? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I currently have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Bicester. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform TSB?

TSB must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel firm.

Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of delay in Bicester conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Bicester.

I'm buying my first flat in Bicester with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my loan with Barclays Direct. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Should I be concerned about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Bicester conveyancing practice?

As with many service providers, often input from connections can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest conveyancers to use. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that many banks specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.

My husband and I are in the market for an affordable conveyancing lawyer in Bicester to help me sell my place. I I am fearful of by bill escalating out of control and there's so many Bicester conveyancing firms to pick from...who's the best?
