We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Bourne?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers where you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the lender and check if they make available a monetary alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Bourne.
I just acquired a house at auction in Bourne. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Having exchanged you must instruct a conveyancing solicitor soon as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer will need. In the case of leasehold premises the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You should hand this to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have instructed a Bourne conveyancer having checked that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Bourne surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Bourne accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Bourne. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Bourne conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Skipton approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Bourne.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bourne is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bourne are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bourne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bourne may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My father-in-law has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Bourne. Do I follow his advice?
No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get recommendations from friends or family who have used the conveyancer you're contemplating using.
