Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Didcot is more expensive?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Didcot and elsewhere usually necessitates extra hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes checking the lease terms, communicating with the landlord about serving applicable notices, securing current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first granted.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Didcot for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our bank National Westminster Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Banks ordinarily imposes restrictions either the category or the number of conveyancing practices on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have limited the number of firms they permit to act for them. Be aware that National Westminster Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of National Westminster Bank Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Didcot only execute one or two conveyances per annum.
I am selling our home in Didcot and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Didcot conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Didcot. Having lived in Didcot for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Am I right to be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Didcot conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many professional services, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend conveyancers to retain. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
