The mortgage offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my single room flat is due any day now. Are you able to recommend a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Harwich?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the lowest fares for conveyancing in Harwich. Our goal is to offer value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers teasing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Harwich. Optimistically, in deciding on low cost conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up invoiced for extras and still not receive the service expected.
My partner and I are purchasing a newly constructed duplex in Harwich and my lawyer is informing me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to sign contracts and I have no desire to prolong matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
The Harwich conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Harwich have without warning shut down. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my previous Harwich lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.
I am planning to move home in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Harwich. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only happen once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Harwich or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Harwich.
I have been advised by my lawyer that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Harwich?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

Last July I purchased a leasehold flat in Harwich. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I bought a ground floor flat in Harwich, conveyancing was carried out May 2012. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Harwich with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2088
You have 63 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £16,200 and £18,600 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
