We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Lickey End endorsed using your comparison tool but stumbled across some other estimates via the web look less expensive – how come?
There are many firms of solicitors marketing at first sight what seems to be very low prices. Our advice is to think twice as to how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the standard of the legal work. Many of them highlight a bargain fee as a headline but bury extra fees in the fine print..
Me and my partner are about to exchange buying a house in Lickey End but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement however HSBC will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
The lawyer being on the HSBC approved list is required to inform HSBC of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the price change to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Lickey End.
Are the Lickey End conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Kent Reliance?
Lickey End conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Kent Reliance directly.
My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Lickey End and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Lickey End. We have lived in Lickey End for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Lickey End is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Lickey End are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lickey End you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lickey End 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 property.
My mother and father cant seem to find their Lickey End land registry title on the site. They have a vague memory back in the 60’s when they acquired the bungalow there were complications regarding Lickey End not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all properties in Lickey End should show up. Have you attempted a search to simply the postcode. Normally it should disclose all the houses and flats within the postcode. Where registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which could be with your parent’s bank.
