Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ipswich

Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Ipswich who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Santander. I am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or should I try and find an alternative property lawyer?

The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you may be able to shave off some of the expense by as much as £125. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldlive to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer.

My conveyancer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Ipswich?

The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Lloyds are being problematic. The Ipswich solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds 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 house in Ipswich. 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 TSB 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 Ipswich conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I was advised by a few selling agents in Ipswich to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than a competitor’s?

We don’t give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am using a search engine for the words on line conveyancing in Ipswich it brings up numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right conveyancer for my move?

The ideal way of choosing a suitable conveyancer is via personal referral, so ask friends and relatives who have bought a property in Ipswich or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Ipswich differ, so it's advisable to obtain at least four quotes from varying types of companies. Make sure that you know that the fees are fixed.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a few thousand pounds short a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Ipswich , but I am keen proceed. Do I have options?

You can agree a smaller deposit. Most vendors will agree to a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
