We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Danescourt who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Danescourt.
I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Danescourt. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We had selected solicitors located in Danescourt on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Danescourt conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the HSBC panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Danescourt conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from UBS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS conducted the valuation? Have you informed UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Danescourt for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Danescourt conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Danescourt differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Danescourt come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Danescourt usually purchase 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 Danescourt or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Danescourt ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a loan on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you call us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Danescourt. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
