Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Irchester who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Santander. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

We were going to get a AIP from Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale recommend any Irchester solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Irchester solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Irchester. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Irchester. 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 UBS 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 Irchester conveyancer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Just bought a terraced house in Irchester , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Irchester conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Irchester registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing a new build house in Irchester with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it could jeopardize my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. 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.
