Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Bury who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Leeds Building Society. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?
The charges are a little high. If you shop around you could reduce the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm gave you couldcome to regret choosing an an unknown conveyancer. If is important to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for Leeds Building Society. You can employ our search tool to choose a Bury conveyancing firm on the Leeds Building Society member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Bury.
I am in the process of remortgaging my house in Bury, does my lawyer have to be on the TSB Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but TSB will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
How does conveyancing in Bury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bury come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Bury tend to acquire the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bury or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bury I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
