We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Bridgnorth endorsed by you but stumbled across some other fee calculations via the web look less pricey – how come?
One can find lots of conveyancers marketing theoretically looks to be very low prices. Our recommendation is to think long and hard about how much you respect your own move to you are willing to be penny wise pound foolish with regard to the standard of the conveyancing. Many of them accentuate a bargain fee to catch your eye but conceal extra charges in the small print..
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Bridgnorth conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?
Bridgnorth conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Bank of Ireland directly.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Bridgnorth. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Bridgnorth?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Bridgnorth building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Bridgnorth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Lloyds are being a right pain. The Bridgnorth solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase a new build flat in Bridgnorth. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bridgnorth
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Bridgnorth I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bridgnorth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I am buying a house and cash is in place. I have provided solicitor with 2 separate forms of photographic identification, bank statement, endless utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the funds are in place and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.
For some years now requires conveyancing solicitors as well as banks, building societies and other financial institutes to obtain satisfactory evidence of the identity of the client. This is because solicitors who deal with money and property on behalf of their clients can be used by criminals wishing to launder money. In order to comply with the law of money laundering, your Bridgnorth conveyancing lawyer will need to obtain evidence of your identity as as well as make sure that your funds are legitimate.
