Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Limbury

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Limbury? Why is this being asked of me?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to act for you.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Limbury. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Limbury?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Santander, do Limbury solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Limbury agreed to, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Limbury. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS started?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Limbury conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Limbury. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date.
