Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bishops Stortford

Having been recommended your service we were going to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Stortford endorsed by you but stumbled across some other fee calculations on the internet appear less pricey – why is this?

One can find many firms of websites promoting self styled £99 conveyancing, yet more often than not extracosts end up with the final invoice being inflated.

I am thinking of remortgaging my property in Bishops Stortford, does my lawyer need to be on the RBS Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but RBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in Bishops Stortford on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings visible over the internet.

My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Nationwide as we want to carry out improvements to our property in Bishops Stortford. Do we need to choose a high street Bishops Stortford solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Nationwide do not ordinarily require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide panel.

I currently have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Bishops Stortford. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Lloyds?

You must advise Lloyds prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Lloyds directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel lawyer.

How does conveyancing in Bishops Stortford differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Bishops Stortford approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Bishops Stortford typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bishops Stortford or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Bishops Stortford I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bishops Stortford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Bishops Stortford and how can you help?

The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to business lessees, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
