Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Easthampstead

IfI was to purchase a freehold housein Easthampstead mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Easthampstead?

Any savings you would gain will be limited to the disbursement for searches. Your conveyancing practitioner is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Easthampstead for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Clydesdale won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

A lender may direct that a panel conveyancer act for it. You would be expected to bear the charges for this. Do use our directory service to choose a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Easthampstead on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Are all Easthampstead Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

A selection of lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.

I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Easthampstead bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Easthampstead conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Easthampstead on 19/2/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Are Lloyds entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I need some expedited conveyancing in Easthampstead as I have pressure to complete in less than 3 weeks. A home loan is not required. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not obtaining a home loan you have the choice not to do searches although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Easthampstead the following are instances of issues that can show up and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

I have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Easthampstead. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Easthampstead and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

My business partner and I are intending to lease a unit on the high street. Can you recommend conveyancers offering fixed costs for non-domestic conveyancing in Easthampstead for below 1500k?
