Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Brislington conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Skipton done the valuation? Have you informed Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Brislington off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Yorkshire BS. 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 have 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 Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Brislington. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Brislington is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Brislington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brislington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brislington may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Brislington and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Brislington. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Brislington area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Brislington. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Brislington
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Brislington conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
