We previously instructed conveyancers with offices in Bracknell on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate fee for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Bracknell solicitor. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Bracknell off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian property in Bracknell. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bracknell and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
