Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fernhill Heath

My fiance and I are hoping to purchase a property in Fernhill Heath and are in fact using a Fernhill Heath conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Skipton Building Society have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Fernhill Heath conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

If you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Fernhill Heath solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

The owners have very brash sellers who has insisted on a lock out contract with a deposit 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

There are a couple of primary drawbacks with entering into any lock out contract (also termed a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular by Fernhill Heath conveyancing lawyers for this reason. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is extremely unlikely to secure injunctive relief to prevent the owner selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in limited situations, the extra payment of penalties.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Fernhill Heath?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Fernhill Heath will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Fernhill Heath.

About to purchase a new build flat in Fernhill Heath. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Fernhill Heath

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I was recommended by numerous property agents in Fernhill Heath to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your site over another?

We refuse to make any commission for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
