We had appointed conveyancers locally in Kingston Vale on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Virgin Money?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Virgin Money but by your Kingston Vale conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Virgin Money panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
How does conveyancing in Kingston Vale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kingston Vale come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Kingston Vale usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kingston Vale or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Kingston Vale is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Kingston Vale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kingston Vale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingston Vale may determine 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 residence.
Why do Kingston Vale conveyancing costs are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is increased work needed for leasehold conveyancing. Kingston Vale has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
