Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hoylake

I am hoping to move into my new home in Hoylake next Tuesday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Hoylake.

Will conveyancers request money on account when it comes to conveyancing in Hoylake?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Hoylake your lawyer will ask you put them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is payable against the total price then this should be needed shortly before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

My Solicitor in Hoylake is not listed on the The Mortgage Works Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the The Mortgage Works panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Carry on with your existing Hoylake solicitors but The Mortgage Works will need to use a solicitor on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing charges and cause delays.
  2. Get an alternative lawyer to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the The Mortgage Works panel

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Barclays as we intend to conduct renovations to our house in Hoylake. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Hoylake solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Barclays do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays list.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Aldermore are being problematic. The Hoylake solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Hoylake. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hoylake lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build house in Hoylake with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could impact my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. 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 downsizing from my property. My previous solicitors have shut. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Hoylake if that makes things easier.
