As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Bishopston what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Bishopston
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bishopston and elsewhere in Bristol is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, property agent and on occasion a bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Bishopston is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a definite emergence of a "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above all other players in the conveyancing process.
Me and my partner are buying a house in Bishopston. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I have been told by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bishopston conveyancing?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
The mortgage over my property is with Bank of Ireland for my property in Bishopston. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 Bank of Ireland?
You must advise Bank of Ireland in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Bank of Ireland will allow you to rent 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 Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor.
I'm buying my first flat in Bishopston with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. 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.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Bishopston
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Bishopston conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Bishopston. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Bishopston who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Bishopston conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
