We see that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Martlesham Heath?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Martlesham Heath.
We are selling our apartment in Martlesham Heath. Does the property lawyer have to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
I am aiming to move property in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Martlesham Heath. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this can only take place when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Martlesham Heath or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Martlesham Heath.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers with offices in Martlesham Heath on the Santander solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Santander but by your Martlesham Heath conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Martlesham Heath conveyancing practitioners were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB done the survey? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Martlesham Heath 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know precisely where to find all the suitable paperwork so you can buy or sell your house without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Martlesham Heath I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Martlesham Heath in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Martlesham Heath
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Martlesham Heath conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
