I am searching for value for money property lawyer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer or a local Ewloe conveyancing lawyer?
On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your area will have strong relationships with your local authority, which can help with the Ewloe conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they enjoy strong rapport with the Land Registry covering your area Ewloe, other conveyancers in the location and Ewloe Estate Agents.
Me and my fiancee are acquiring our first property. Our conveyancing practitioner has calledto enquire if we wish to take out additional conveyancing searches. As novices we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Ewloe
The range of Ewloe conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information the searches could provide. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that information. Where you are unsure, ask the property lawyer to guide you.
My aunt passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Ewloe. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Barclays, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you plan to re-mortgage then Barclays will require that you use a conveyancer on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Barclays mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Ewloe on 31/12/2024, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Ewloe solicitor - who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ewloe postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ewloe.
I am buying my first flat in Ewloe benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
