Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ilkeston

I opted for a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Ilkeston yesterday. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I seeI am on the hook for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and use a web based lawyer advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Ilkeston?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that such deals rarely protect you from expenses for instance Ilkeston conveyancing search fees.

We note that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Ilkeston?

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Ilkeston. The Ilkeston property was put into my name in May. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation principally exists to capture subsales or the flipping of property.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Ilkeston. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Ilkeston bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Ilkeston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

The conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
