My best friend’s brother is a conveyancing practitioner. I expect that I'll be able to get mate’s pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Fordingbridge?
Do contrast pricing. Do use our search tool on this site. You will notice that fees seem to be different but service levels do differ between solicitors as is true with most professions.
Is it correct that all Fordingbridge CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Co-operative conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
Virgin Money have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Fordingbridge has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Virgin Money or the broker and finish off any appropriate forms. Virgin Money will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Fordingbridge.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Fordingbridge agreed to, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Fordingbridge. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Fordingbridge conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Fordingbridge.
five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Fordingbridge took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Fordingbridge I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fordingbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word.
