I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer as opposed to a family Brundall conveyancing solicitor?
On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your location will have strong alliances with your local authority, which could help with your Brundall conveyancing searches that your solicitor will inevitably need. It also helps if they enjoy existing relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Brundall, other lawyers in the area and Brundall property agents.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Brundall? Is this really necessary?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Brundall. Nowadays you can not proceed with any conveyancing process without first providing proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a council tax bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.
Evidence of the origin of funds is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer must retain this information on file. Your Brundall conveyancing solicitor will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask further queries concerning the source of monies.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Brundall
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Brundall conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Brundall conveyancing lawyers are chosen. 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 survey? Have you informed Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Brundall. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is TSB your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to TSB where a lease does not meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Brundall.
My wife and I are selling our home in Brundall and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brundall. We have lived in Brundall for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Brundall I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Brundall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

My solicitor (who is 250 kilometers from merequires that I execute a stat dec ahead of completion.
