Having been recommended your web site we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Colindale endorsed by you but stumbled across alternative quotes via the web appear less pricey – how come?
One can find many firms of solicitors advertising self styled £99 conveyancing, unfortunately it’s common in such cases for supplementalcharges end up with the closing invoice being inflated. In accordance with regulatory requirements charges set out in terms and conditions should be equitable raised The law firms that we put forward for conveyancing in Colindale clearly state all costs for the property you intend topurchase.
Our nephew is purchasing a newly built flat in Colindale with a home loan from RBS. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
The Colindale conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Colindale have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Colindale lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Colindale completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Colindale before instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Colindale. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Colindale to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
