The mortgage offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom maisonette is coming any day now. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Bolton?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of cut-price fees for conveyancing in Bolton. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be seduced by organisations enticing you with low cost conveyancing in Bolton. The optimum outcome, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up being stung for extras and still not receive the service expected.
My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Bolton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bolton. Having lived in Bolton for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Bolton 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bolton prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to give a loan on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bolton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
Am I best advised to use a Bolton conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can carry out the legal work however her office is a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Bolton conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Bolton conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
All being well we will complete our sale of a £350,000 garden flat in Bolton in seven days. The management company has quoted £312 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Bolton?
Bolton conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually necessitates the buyer’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
