It may have been a long time coming a loan agreement from HSBC for the remortgage of my 3 room garden flat is expected by the end of next week. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing lawyer in High Wycombe?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in High Wycombe. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by companies offering the bait of £99 conveyancing in High Wycombe. Optimistically, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in extras and still not end up with the service you were hoping for.
We note that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in High Wycombe?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in High Wycombe.
My wife and I own a terraced Victorian house in High Wycombe. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in High Wycombe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in High Wycombe. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in High Wycombe
-
Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Should I be suspicious that third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street High Wycombe conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be very helpful. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your home move.
My husband and I plan to acquire our first property in High Wycombe. Conveyancing solicitor has been appointed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property is only 17 years old.
You would be well advised to take a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property is over ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation if relevant. Where there are any signs of material issues get a comprehensive structural survey.
