I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Great Wyrley. Almost all the properties have already been occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Great Wyrley?
Conveyancing Searches are a critical link in the Great Wyrley conveyancing process. There are numerous companies who offer Great Wyrley conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are known collectively as personal search providers due to them carrying out, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authority.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Santander Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Great Wyrley?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Great Wyrley. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Great Wyrley can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain works or necessitated the permission of another owner. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Great Wyrley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Great Wyrley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the bank panel, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Great Wyrley. 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 Coventry BS 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 Great Wyrley lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Great Wyrley ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Great Wyrley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Great Wyrley especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Great Wyrley.
I was advised by three or four local estate agents in Great Wyrley to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
