I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Hythe off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Barclays. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have 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 Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
Intending to buy a apartment in Hythe. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays 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 Hythe solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Hythe accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Hythe. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Hythe conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Hythe.
