Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hedge End

I can't travel far from Hedge End. Please spell out why all Hedge End conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?

Pre- 2008 most banks had an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have since requiredmore information from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Hedge End last August but the buyer keeps texting every few hours to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened now that I have sold?

My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Hedge End and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Clydesdale.

It would be wise to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Aldermore are being difficult. The Hedge End solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore 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.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Hedge End I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hedge End for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Hedge End. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
