Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kimbolton

I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Kimbolton. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Me and my partner are buying a property in Kimbolton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Kimbolton conveyancing practitioners were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative conducted the valuation? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Kimbolton. 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 Bank of Ireland 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 Kimbolton property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I am buying my first flat in Kimbolton with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

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.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kimbolton is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Kimbolton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kimbolton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kimbolton may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Taking into account that I will soon spend £400,000 on a terraced house in Kimbolton I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehome move ahead of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Kimbolton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Kimbolton should be the figure that you are charged.

Is it best to use a Kimbolton conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal work but they are based over three hundred miles drive away.

The benefit of a local Kimbolton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that must surpass using an unknown Kimbolton conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
