Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Forest Hall

It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Forest Hall solicitor is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Forest Hall for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Alliance & Leicester won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

A mortgage company can direct that a panel solicitor act for it. Borrowers are expected to meet the cost of this. Please make use of our tool to select a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Forest Hall on the Alliance & Leicester approved list of solicitors.

I am planning to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Forest Hall. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your site.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent but this should only happen once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Forest Hall off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I have instructed a Forest Hall lawyer having checked that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Forest Hall surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Forest Hall. Now, I need my files but the law firm has closed. What do I do?

You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Forest Hall of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously used, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

I'm buying a new build house in Forest Hall with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Forest Hall ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a loan on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Forest Hall. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Forest Hall to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
