What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Brighouse
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Brighouse conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am due to move house in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Brighouse. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent however this can only happen when the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Brighouse or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Brighouse.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Brighouse on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional amount for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Brighouse lawyer. Some firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have a renovated Victorian house in Brighouse. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Brighouse and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy 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 conducted the conveyancing.
I'm buying a new build house in Brighouse with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with Skipton Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
