Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fishponds

We were about to choose a conveyancing solicitor in Fishponds listed using your search tool but stumbled across some other quotes via the web look cheaper – how come?

You can find plenty of conveyancers advertising at first sight what seems to be very low prices. Our recommendation is to think twice about how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks concerning the standard of the legal work. Some hide fees well inside the terms of business. The law firms that we put forward for conveyancing in Fishponds will notbehave this way.

My husband and I intend to remortgage our flat in Fishponds with Leeds Building Society. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Leeds Building Society. This is solely used to protect Leeds Building Society if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Leeds Building Society had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

My grandmother passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Fishponds. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Kent Reliance, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

Where you intend to refinance then Kent Reliance will require that you use a conveyancer on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary reason for stalling in Fishponds conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Fishponds.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Fishponds I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Fishponds suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I am looking to sell my home. My past lawyers closed down. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Fishponds if that makes things easier.
