Finally, a loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 3 room flat is coming within the next few days. Could you suggest a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Keynsham?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing in Keynsham. Our goal is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations enticing you with low cost conveyancing in Keynsham. The optimum outcome, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you being stung for extras and still not get the service you were hoping for.
There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Keynsham but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Keynsham
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Keynsham conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Keynsham lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have instructed a Keynsham solicitor having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Keynsham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Keynsham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Keynsham conveyancing specialists.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Keynsham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Keynsham before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on such a home.
