When researching moneysavingexpert.com for a high-quality solicitor in Breaston, many say that I should instruct a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in the legal transfer of properties, trusted by some of the UK's leading mortgage companies. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Legal Ombudsman. CQS is not a scheme offered by the Council of Licensed Conveyancing. Breaston is one of the many areas in England and Wales where there are CQS solicitors.
I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Breaston. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a compulsory component of moving property. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. It is not a task that solicitors normally organise. Where you are using a Breaston conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable local assessors
We are due to move home in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Breaston. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only happen when the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Breaston or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Breaston.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Breaston bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Breaston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am purchasing my first flat in Breaston benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I was advised by numerous property agents in Breaston to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site over another?
We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
We expect to complete the disposal of our £125,000 flat in Breaston on Thursday in a week. The management company has quoted £300 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Breaston?
Breaston conveyancing on leasehold apartments often involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions most will be willing to assist. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
