Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Marlborough

Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

The estimate fees seem a little high. If you shop around you might trim some of the expense by as much as £125. On the other hand, if you were satisfied with the legal work the firm offered you couldcome to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to be sure that the firm can also act for Accord Mortgages Ltd. You can employ our search tool to choose a Marlborough conveyancing firm on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Marlborough.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Marlborough costs more?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Marlborough and Wiltshire usually involve additional hours of investigation compared to freehold transactions. This includes lease investigation, liaising with the landlord about the service of required notices, procuring current service charge and management information, securing the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough. I need to find out if they are on the HSBC Bank conveyancing panel. Could you assist?

You should contact the conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should call HSBC Bank who may be able to help.

A relative recommended that if I am buying in Marlborough I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Marlborough conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Marlborough around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Marlborough.

Should I use a Marlborough conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can execute the legal formalities but her office is 300miles drive away.

The benefit of a high street Marlborough conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Marlborough know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Marlborough conveyancing lawyer just because they are Marlborough based.

There are a lot of houses in Marlborough on unadopted lanes. I am acquiring such a property. Are there any advantages to buying a residence on a private road?

Marlborough conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with transacting homeson private. The property lawyer will review the Land Registry data to find any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and appear nicer than publicly owned.
