I hired a Little Hulton based firm for our conveyancing in Little Hulton last week. After carefully reading the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Little Hulton?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that such schemes rarely cover expenses by way of example Little Hulton conveyancing search costs.
I am in the process of refinancing my house in Little Hulton, does my lawyer have to be on the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Little Hulton. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Little Hulton?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Little Hulton. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
Are all Little Hulton Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Little Hulton conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I'm purchasing my first flat in Little Hulton with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Little Hulton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Little Hulton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Little Hulton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Little Hulton 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 residence.
