We are due to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Brighstone. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this can only be done after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Brighstone or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Brighstone.
We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Brighstone on the TSB solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for handling the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by TSB but by your Brighstone solicitor. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, TSB are being pedantic. The Brighstone solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.
I moved into my flat on 13 June and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Brighstone said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Brighstone uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Brighstone registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I was pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Brighstone to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over another?
We refuse to give any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will 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.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am selling a house in Neath but live in Brighstone. My lawyer (who is 260 kilometers from meneeds me to execute a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Brighstone to witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Brighstone
I only have Sixty One years left on my flat in Brighstone. I need to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist may be useful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Brighstone.
