Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bulls Cross

Is it the case that all Bulls Cross CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Aldermore conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Bulls Cross on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for dealing with the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Bulls Cross conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Nottingham panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I am purchasing a property in Bulls Cross. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Clydesdale be concerned?

Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Bulls Cross.

How does conveyancing in Bulls Cross differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Bulls Cross come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Bulls Cross typically buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bulls Cross or who has acted in the same development.

Should I be concerned about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Bulls Cross conveyancing practice?

As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may recommend lawyers to choose. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Bulls Cross

We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Bulls Cross conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £275,000 apartment in Bulls Cross in just under a week. The management company has quoted £312 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Bulls Cross?

Bulls Cross conveyancing on leasehold apartments nine out of ten times necessitates fees being invoiced by landlords agents :

    Answering pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Bulls Cross Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Bulls Cross leasehold premises is £350. For Bulls Cross conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

I am the proprietor of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Bulls Cross. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to decide the price.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Bulls Cross property is First Floor Flat 109 Lyndhurst Road in May 2010. Following a vesting order by Edmonton County Court on 29th October 2009 the Tribunal decided on a figure of £5,012 for a lease extension. This case affected 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 81.79 years.

Is it true that a Bulls Cross conveyancing firm got sued by clients for not carrying out comprehensive conveyancing investigations?

We are not aware of such a Bulls Cross conveyancing claim but according to a recent report, clients buying a house elsewhere in England successfully sued their lawyer as a consequence of development plans to build a wind farm not being identified in conveyancing searches.

If you are buying in Bulls Cross It is essential that your property lawyer conduct all Bulls Cross conveyancing searches required making sure that you have accurate and current information before acquiring a property.
