Finally, a loan agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 3 bedroom garden flat is expected any day now. Are you able to recommend a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Heddon On The Wall?

This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Heddon On The Wall. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be fooled by organisations teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Heddon On The Wall. At best, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you paying a lot in additional fees and still not get the service expected.

I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Heddon On The Wall. Will the conveyancer order an EPC or it is for me to see to?

After the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a mandatory element of selling a property. An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not something that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Heddon On The Wall conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local assessors

is it true that all Heddon On The Wall conveyancing solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the UBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, HSBC are being a right pain. The Heddon On The Wall solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but HSBC are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Heddon On The Wall 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.

How does conveyancing in Heddon On The Wall differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Heddon On The Wall come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Heddon On The Wall usually purchase the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Heddon On The Wall or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Heddon On The Wall I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Heddon On The Wall for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I have been advised by three or four local estate agents in Heddon On The Wall to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any commission for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
