Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bromham

I was recommended to a lawyer who has given a fee estimate £1200 for fixed fee conveyancing in Bromham. I am looking to sell a modern detached home for £250,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Bromham?

The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. If you shop around you could trim some of the cost by perhaps £125. On the other hand, you maylive to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. Remember to check the solicitor can also act for your mortgage company. You can employ our comparison tool to choose a Bromham conveyancing firm on the lender’s approved list of lawyers which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Bromham.

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Bromham so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.

Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, the vast majority mortgage companies no longer oblige their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to hand over identification documents and there are still manifest advantages to using a locally based solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Bromham.

We are purchasing a terrace house in Bromham. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include enquiries to determine if these works are permitted?

Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Bromham will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bromham conveyancing?

The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

We previously appointed solicitors based in Bromham on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further amount for dealing with the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Bromham conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Bromham 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your property and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Bromham with the aim of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bromham can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers.
  • If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Bromham conveyancing transaction. If a duplicate share certificate is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Bromham levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Bromham. Some Bromham leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers.
