Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Broughton In Furness

My husband and I are planning to buy a flat in Broughton In Furness and are in fact using a Broughton In Furness conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. The Royal Bank of Scotland have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Broughton In Furness solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Broughton In Furness solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Broughton In Furness property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from HSBC as we intend to conduct improvements to our property in Broughton In Furness. Do we need to appoint a nearby Broughton In Furness solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

How does conveyancing in Broughton In Furness differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Broughton In Furness come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Broughton In Furness usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Broughton In Furness or who has acted in the same development.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Last January I purchased a leasehold flat in Broughton In Furness. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
