We previously instructed solicitors with offices in Chalfont St Peter on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Chalfont St Peter lawyer. Numerous firms on the Nottingham panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Chalfont St Peter conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to forward the offer to the lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society conducted the valuation? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

How does conveyancing in Chalfont St Peter differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Chalfont St Peter approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Chalfont St Peter usually 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chalfont St Peter or who has acted in the same development.

I have been pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Chalfont St Peter to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Can I discover who owns a property in Chalfont St Peter?

Provided the premises is registered with HMLR, and you have requisite information of the address of the property, you will be able to obtain details from the HMLR of the registered proprietor for a fee.
