Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Hillsborough?
If you are buying a property in Hillsborough your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the purchase price then this should be needed shortly prior to exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
I am aiming to move home in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Hillsborough. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only take place after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Hillsborough or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Hillsborough.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Hillsborough. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Hillsborough bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Hillsborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Hillsborough. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Hillsborough and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I am purchasing my first flat in Hillsborough with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

We are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Hillsborough. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would have to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has your mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the replacement conveyancer and get the loan are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added fees and delays. So that should be your starting point.
