Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ledbury

Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Ledbury who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Virgin Money. I am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

The charges appear a tad high. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the expense by perhaps £125. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the assistance the firm offered you couldcome to regret opting for an an unknown conveyancer.

I am under pressure from the owner of a property in Ledbury to complete within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?

First, If the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they would have conducted previoushouses in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Ledbury conveyancing solicitor. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of Ledbury conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being frustrated by as much as three weeks. It is said that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Most Ledbury conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ledbury? Why is this being asked of me?

It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Ledbury. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing deal without first providing proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it must be both the paper section as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.

Proof of your source of funds is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer must have this information on record. Your Ledbury conveyancing solicitor will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any monies from you into their client account and they will also ask additional questions concerning the source of funds.

I am assisting my sister sell her house in Ledbury. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?

After the demise of HIPs, energy assessments remained a mandatory element of selling a property. An energy assessment should be to hand before the property is placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Ledbury conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established Ledbury accredited person

I am purchasing a property in Ledbury. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Ledbury.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Ledbury. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Ledbury is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Ledbury are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ledbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ledbury 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.

Two months into purchasing a property in Ledbury. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the marketability of the house?

Ledbury conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the saleability too much.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a significant impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your lawyer.
