A mortgage agreement from NatWest for the refinancing of my 4 room flat is to be issued imminently. Could you suggest a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Hanham?

You are on the wrong site if you are seeking cut-price fees for conveyancing in Hanham. Our goal is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies teasing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Hanham.

My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach legitimate?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hanham costs more?

The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Hanham is often greater than on a freehold property. This is because there is an amount of extra work required in communicating with the freeholder and management company to obtain evidence concerning whether the rent and service fee have been paid and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

How does conveyancing in Hanham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Hanham come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Hanham usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hanham or who has acted in the same development.

I can't really find anything else in Hanham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
