I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Holsworthy off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Skipton. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Holsworthy on 15/8/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am buying my first flat in Holsworthy with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Holsworthy I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Holsworthy for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Do I need to be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Holsworthy conveyancing practice?
As with lots of service providers, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest conveyancers to choose. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
I have been searching for Holsworthy conveyancing quotes online. Can I be sure that all the Holsworthy firms that are identified on your site are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The law firms listed on our site have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Holsworthy firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
