Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Didsbury

My mortgage broker has requested my Didsbury lawyer’ panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Didsbury branch but they cant find it on their system.

Have you tried speaking to your Didsbury lawyer about this?. They should have a central record lender panel numbers.

I am buying a house without a mortgage in Didsbury. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Didsbury. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Didsbury conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Didsbury should be able to give you some constructive guidance here.

Is it correct that all Didsbury CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the RBS conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

Can you point me to a directory of Principality panel conveyancers in Didsbury on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings viewable online. If you are looking for a Didsbury conveyancing practitioner on the Principality please use our facility.

is it true that all Didsbury solicitor practices on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Didsbury with a mortgage from Britannia. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Britannia. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Didsbury in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Didsbury. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Didsbury to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Didsbury. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Didsbury - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I invested in buying a garden flat in Didsbury, conveyancing was carried out in 2007. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Didsbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2077

With only 52 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
