When reviewing online forums for an online solicitor in Fulford, many post that I must use a CQS accredited solicitor. What is CQS?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in home moving process, trusted by some of the UK's leading banks. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Society for Licensed Conveyancers.

I am due to move home in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Fulford. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your page.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent but this can only take place after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Fulford or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Fulford.

I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Fulford property lawyer on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Co-operative mortgage has been paid off.

About to purchase house in Fulford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Fulford lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Fulford. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Fulford before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks may not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check via the relevant mortgage company.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Fulford?

Fulford conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally results in administration charges raised by management companies :

    Addressing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Fulford Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Fulford leasehold premises is £350. For Fulford conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.
