My fiance’s brother is a property lawyer. I suspect that I will be offered mate’s rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Hove?
It’s a good idea to look for two or three conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this site. You will notice that quotes will be different but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
Some advice if I may. My Hove solicitor is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Hove conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is my solicitor right?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Hove conveyancing searches.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Hove. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Hove?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Hove conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
We expect to receive a AIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Hove solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Hove solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Hove 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to find all the relevant paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
