Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Longridge who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Aldermore. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are prepared to spend time comparing prices you may be able to decrease the fees slightly by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the assistance the firm offered you maylive to rue choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to check the solicitor can represent Aldermore.

Our god-son is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Longridge with a home loan from Coventry BS. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Given that you have now exchanged you should instruct a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property. All auction property should have an associated auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

I am due to move home in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Longridge. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this website.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Kent Reliance are being difficult. The Longridge solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Should my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Longridge.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Longridge. There are those who purchase a property in Longridge, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Longridge. The standard information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading answer. The buyer’s lawyers should also commission an environmental report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
