Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Horsham

Having been told to check out your organisation we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Horsham listed on your site but stumbled across some other costs illustrations on the internet seem less pricey – how come?

One can find numerous conveyancing organisations advertising self styled cut-price conveyancing, yet more often than not additionalfees result in the final bill markedly uplifted. Conveyancers are obliged to make sure that costs contained in terms of engagement should be equitable raised The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Horsham set out all costs for a standard conveyancing case.

My partner and I are purchasing a newly built flat in Horsham and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and my preference is not to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Horsham conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

Horsham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Yorkshire BS directly.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Horsham?

You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the lender and determine if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Horsham.

I am selling our property in Horsham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Horsham lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Horsham. We have lived in Horsham for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Horsham

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Horsham conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
