Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kings Lynn

As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important advice you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Kings Lynn?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Kings Lynn or throughout Norfolk is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion the bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Kings Lynn should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Me and my partner are buying a house in Kings Lynn. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to put 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.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Principality, do Kings Lynn solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from RBS as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Kings Lynn. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Kings Lynn solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

RBS don't usually appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS list.

Is it necessary to pay for insurance to address the risk of chancel repairs when acquiring a house in Kings Lynn?

Unless a previous purchase of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Kings Lynn to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

I am purchasing a new build house in Kings Lynn with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would affect my mortgage with Virgin Money. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Hoping to buy a property located in Kings Lynn and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Kings Lynn. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Kings Lynn area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Kings Lynn. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We are in the middle of buying a property in Kings Lynn. Conveyancing solicitor has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our Halifax valuation?

Kings Lynn conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value too much.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a significant impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your lawyer.
