Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Llanharan who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the service the firm gave you mightlive to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. Remember to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for The Royal Bank of Scotland. Do make use of our search tool to select a Llanharan conveyancing firm on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Llanharan.
Some advice if I may. My Llanharan lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toorder Llanharan conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. Do I not have a choice here?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Llanharan conveyancing searches.
We are downsizing from our home in Llanharan and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Llanharan. Having lived in Llanharan for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 illness)
I am buying a new build house in Llanharan with a loan from Santander. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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 property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Llanharan is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Llanharan are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Llanharan you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanharan 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 residence.
