Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Eastbourne

I have just started taking steps with the aim of changing my existing standard mortgage to a Buy to Let Britannia mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I require a conveyancer for this. I spoke to my former Eastbourne conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I originally bought the property. The costs illustration provided of just over five hundred pounds is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you shop around you might decrease the fees marginally by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the service the firm provided you maylive to regret choosing an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to be sure that the conveyancer can also act for Britannia.

I am considering applying for a Coventry BS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Eastbourne with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Coventry BS ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

There is lots of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Eastbourne but can you isolate your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Eastbourne

Do not opt for the lowest Eastbourne conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being problematic. The Eastbourne solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Eastbourne. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Eastbourne conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
