AssumingI was to acquire a straightforward housein Bishop Auckland mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Bishop Auckland?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the costs for searches. Your solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it won't be a lot.
Completed the sale of my flat in Bishop Auckland last February yet the purchaser is calling daily complaining that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer is obliged to forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Bishop Auckland.
My grandmother passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Bishop Auckland. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Bank of Ireland, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then Bank of Ireland will require that you use a conveyancer on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Bank of Ireland mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
