Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hanham

We were about to choose a conveyancing solicitor in Hanham listed by you but have come across some other costs illustrations on the internet seem less expensive – how come?

You can find many firms of firms promoting alleged cut-price conveyancing, unfortunately it’s common in such cases for extrafees result in the closing bill markedly uplifted. Solicitors are duty bound to ensure charges set out in terms and conditions should be fair and reasonable and be applied The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Hanham set out all legal fees for a residential conveyancing case.

I am acquiring a house mortgage free in Hanham. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Hanham. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Hanham conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Hanham should be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.

Do conveyancers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Hanham?

If you are buying a property in Hanham your solicitor will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is as part of the total price then this should be required immediately ahead of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due should be transferred shortly before completion.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Coventry BS, do Hanham property lawyers face a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Hanham. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Hanham on 6/3/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Hanham 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.

Myself and my fiance have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will have to pay out a further fee of £250+. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked Nationwide to furnish me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You should ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Another option is to make use of our search tool and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Hanham on the panel for Nationwide.
