IfI were to acquire a straightforward housein Long Stratton mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Long Stratton?
The only saving you would achieve is the Long Stratton conveyancing searches. The lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage however it won't be a lot.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Long Stratton. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Long Stratton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
My sealed bid on a semi in Long Stratton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Long Stratton. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Long Stratton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with searches.
Will my lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Long Stratton.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Long Stratton. There are those who buy a house in Long Stratton, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Long Stratton. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also order an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
