In the event thatI were to acquire a simple residential housein Empingham mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Empingham?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the Empingham conveyancing searches. Your conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it will not be significant.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Empingham. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Empingham?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Empingham. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
Are all Empingham Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation 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 solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
is it true that all Empingham conveyancing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the CLC.
I purchased a terraced Georgian property in Empingham. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess 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 Empingham and other locations in 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 lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Empingham with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it may affect my loan with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 Empingham prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not give a loan on such a property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Empingham.

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Empingham conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Empingham conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with two or three firms including non Empingham conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:
-
If they are not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? How many lease extensions have they completed in Empingham in the last twenty four months?
