I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Deepcar with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but HSBC will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Deepcar. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Deepcar?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am planning to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Deepcar. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this should only take place once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Deepcar or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Deepcar.
Is it the case that all Deepcar CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the UBS conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Deepcar. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Deepcar
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Deepcar I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Deepcar suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Deepcar for my home move. Is it possible to see a solicitor's complaints history with the profession’s regulator?

I have just started marketing my garden flat in Deepcar. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Deepcar, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2009. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Deepcar with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2082
With only 58 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
