Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fareham

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Fareham is not listed on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Fareham conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

My Solicitor in Fareham is not listed on the Bank of Ireland Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Bank of Ireland approved list?

The limited options open to you here include:

  1. Carry on with your existing Fareham solicitors but Bank of Ireland will need to use a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges and result in delays.
  2. Choose a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Convince your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel

I'm remortgaging my current house to a BTL mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards a second house. The location we are looking at is Fareham. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?

I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Fareham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

A small minority of properties in Fareham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

Fareham Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    The majority of Fareham leasehold flats will have a service bill for the upkeep of the building set on behalf of the management company. Where you purchase the apartment you will have to meet this contribution, normally in instalments accross the year. This can vary from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common areas. There will also be a rentcharge to be met annual, ordinarily this is not a significant sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. What prohibitions are there in the Fareham Lease? How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments?
