Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Finningley

It has taken forever and a day but a mortgage offer from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 2 bedroom garden flat is to be issued by the end of next week. Could you suggest a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Finningley?

You have arrived at the wrong site to search for a cheap conveyancing in Finningley. We can offer you cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint companies seducing you with £99 conveyancing in Finningley. The optimum result, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up paying a lot in extras and still not receive the service required.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Finningley? What am I being asked for?

Finningley conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no older than three months).

Proof of the origin of monies is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering regulations as solicitors are duty bound to investigate that the money you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase price where you are buying without a mortgage) has come from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of criminal activity.

I just acquired a house at auction in Finningley. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?

Given that you are now legally committed yourself to purchase you now have to instruct a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a tight a drop dead date to complete the deal. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete on the on the contractual date .

We previously appointed solicitors locally in Finningley on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for dealing with the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Finningley conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Finningley. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Is it possible to change firm as I have to find one who is on the Aldermore conveyancing list. I instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Finningley round the corner but he is not accepted by Aldermore

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Finningley. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I own a studio flat in Finningley, conveyancing having been completed in 1999. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Finningley with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2081

With 55 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

My financial adviser has recommended their property lawyer for our conveyancing in Finningley - Surely it’s easier to just instruct them?

This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to instruct whichever property lawyer of your choosing for your Finningley home move. The property lawyer recommended by an estate agent may not always be the best property lawyer, they may suggest their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
