Having been told to check out your web site we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Lyndhurst found on your site but stumbled across alternative costs illustrations on the internet appear less expensive – why is this?
There are many firms of solicitors marketing what appear to be cut price. We suggest that you think twice about how much you respect your own move to want to be penny wise pound foolish over the quality of the conveyancing. Many of them list a low quote to entice you but hide additional costs in the fine print..
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Lyndhurst. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Lyndhurst?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Lyndhurst. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am aiming to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Lyndhurst. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only be done after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Lyndhurst or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Lyndhurst.
I have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Lyndhurst. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Your original mortgage agreement with Lloyds will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel lawyer.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Lyndhurst is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Lyndhurst are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lyndhurst you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lyndhurst 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 property.
I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Lyndhurst to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Lyndhurst. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
A solicitor would have to be very poor to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you must advise them of the new lawyer and get the offer are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and delays. So that should be your starting point.
