I decided to go with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Broughton yesterday. Looking through the Terms I notewe are on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use an internet conveyancing company offering no move no charge conveyancing in Broughton?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such schemes generally do not cover expenses for instance Broughton conveyancing search charges.
I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Broughton. The vast majority the properties have already been sold. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Broughton?
Conveyancing Searches are a central link in the Broughton conveyancing process. There are a large number of search providers conducting Broughton conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are known collectively as personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authority.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Aldermore, do Broughton lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Broughton conveyancer on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Broughton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Broughton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Broughton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Broughton 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 Broughton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Broughton 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 property.
