Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burnage

I decided to go with a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Burnage yesterday. Looking through the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or select a web based solicitor practice who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Burnage?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise those transactions that abort. Also remember that these offerings generally do not protect you from expenditure such your Burnage conveyancing search costs.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Burnage?

If you are buying a property in Burnage your lawyer will ask you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the purchase price then this will be asked for immediately before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is due will be payable a few days ahead of the completion date.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Burnage. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Bank of Ireland approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

You should e-mail the lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please get in touch with Bank of Ireland who may be able to assist.

My partner and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Burnage and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this point? I will be getting a home loan with Kent Reliance.

It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are seeking a mortgage with Kent Reliance, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Burnage. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Shortly after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being a right pain. The Burnage solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Burnage for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Burnage conveyancing specialists.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Burnage I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burnage in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
