Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lanchester

We see that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Lanchester?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Lanchester.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Lanchester conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to issue the offer to the conveyancer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland done the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being problematic. The Lanchester solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Lanchester. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore 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 Lanchester conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I am buying a new build flat in Lanchester. Conveyancing is daunting 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 legal work.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Lanchester

    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. 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Lanchester prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a loan on such a home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you call us we can look into this further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lanchester. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Lanchester especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Lanchester.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Neath but reside in Lanchester. My solicitor (based 235 kilometers from mehas requested that I execute a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Lanchester to attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Lanchester

Is it possible for you to suggest a cheap Lanchester property lawyer for purchasing a flat? A work colleague recommended one but their quote was £995 plus VAT for a 250k property. I think thats a tad expensive. The bank will be RBS.

The purpose of this site is restricted to being a directory service for lawyers who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for RBS in certain areas for instance Lanchester . We dont recommend any particular solicitor.
