I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented property in Bourne by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your tenancy unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, contact to your conveyancer and urge them to they apply pressure on the other side, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will look to achieve
We see that you have a post code search directory identifying law firms on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Bourne?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Bourne.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Bourne. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Bourne?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Bourne. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
My father advised me that in purchasing a property in Bourne there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of anumerous of properties in Bourne which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Bourne should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I currently have a mortgage with Bank of Ireland for my property in Bourne. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
Bank of Ireland must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out 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 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 Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel lawyer.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Bourne. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bourne
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Bourne
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Bourne conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
