Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Goodrich

Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Goodrich who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you are willing to expend time comparing quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the legal work the firm offered you couldcome to rue opting for an an untested solicitor.

Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a property in Goodrich but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Principality are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?

The conveyancer being on the Principality approved list is duty bound to inform Principality of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the reduction to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Goodrich.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Goodrich costs more?

Goodrich leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

I am buying my first flat in Goodrich with a mortgage from TSB. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage 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.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Goodrich. I have land on a web site which looks to be the ideal answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Why is it not possible to complete our conveyancing in Goodrich on Easter Monday?

Because on completion the funds needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s property lawyer and at present this can only occur on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
