Can I be sure that the Hatton conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hatton obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
We expect to receive a AIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Hatton solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hatton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Hatton. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Hatton 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Am I right to be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an online conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Hatton conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward conveyancers to retain. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
My husband and I are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Hatton. I am am very frustrated with the level of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A lawyer would need to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the replacement lawyer and ensure the loan are re-issued. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added expenses and complications. That should be your starting point. Our find a solicitor tool will help you find a bank approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Hatton
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Hatton both have about fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Hatton. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
Having spent years of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Hatton. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Hatton property is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 82.93 years.
