Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bloxham

I am about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Bloxham but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Leeds Building Society are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

Any conveyancer being on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Leeds Building Society of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the price change to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Bloxham.

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Bloxham for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Mortgage Companies in the main restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have decided to limit the amount of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. You should note that Accord Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Accord Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there remains mixed views regarding the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Bloxham only perform one or two conveyances per annum.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Skipton, do Bloxham lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

We previously selected solicitors locally in Bloxham on the TSB solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further sum for handling the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by TSB?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by TSB but by your Bloxham conveyancer. Some firms on the TSB panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I am expecting a OIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Bloxham solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Bloxham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

Given that I will soon spend £400,000 on a terraced house in Bloxham I wish to talk to a lawyer about myhome move ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Completion is due on the sale of our £325,000 flat in Bloxham in 8 days. The freeholder has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Bloxham?

Bloxham conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually requires the buyer’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions most will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.

    Please note that where the lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for 24 months before you are legally able to extend the lease. Plenty Bloxham leasehold flats will have a service charge for maintenance of the block set on behalf of the landlord.
