I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my rented apartment in Colne by 31/12/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim towards
We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Colne on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further fee for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Colne solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
Can I be sure that the Colne conveyancing solicitor on the Nationwide panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Colne obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Colne solicitor having made sure that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Colne surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
