I am purchasing a semi-detached house in Lancing. How practical is it for me to do the conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Lancing you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Lancing.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Aldermore, do Lancing conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Clydesdale as we wish to carry out renovations to our property in Lancing. Do we need to select a nearby Lancing solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Clydesdale would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
About to purchase flat in Lancing. 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 Lancing solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when acquiring a property in Lancing? or Apparently there is an ancient law that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Lancing?
Unless a previous purchase of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Lancing to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Lancing. 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.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Lancing
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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. 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.
I am a fortnight into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to handle our conveyancing in Lancing. I am am extremely frustrated with the quality of service. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
They would have to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent?

Why is it not possible to complete our conveyancing in Lancing on May bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the funds will be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and owner’s solicitor and at present this can only occur on a working day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
