We decided to go with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Hackenthorpe yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I noteI am on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use a web based conveyancing company who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Hackenthorpe?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset the transactions that fail to complete. Please beware that such promotions rarely cover expenditure e.g. Hackenthorpe conveyancing search fees.
In the event thatI were to purchase a freehold housein Hackenthorpe for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Hackenthorpe?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the Hackenthorpe conveyancing searches. The conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it will not be a lot.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Hackenthorpe. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to find a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a pending a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal pack. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You need to give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
We are due to move property in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Hackenthorpe. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this can only happen after the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Hackenthorpe or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Hackenthorpe.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Hackenthorpe conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am purchasing a new build house in Hackenthorpe benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it would put at risk my loan with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

What makes a Hackenthorpe lease unacceptable for security purposes?
Leasehold conveyancing in Hackenthorpe is not unique. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
