I chose a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Chilwell last week. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I seeI am on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not go ahead. Should I go with them or appoint an internet lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Chilwell?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover the conveyances that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that such offerings tend not to protect you from disbursements for example Chilwell conveyancing search expenses.
Our lawyer has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are buying in Chilwell. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to list solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for example in Chilwell?
We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Chilwell 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware exactly where to find all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. If copies can’t be located, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Chilwell I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chilwell for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
