Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mayfield

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Mayfield?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for delay in Mayfield house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Mayfield.

I'm buying my first flat in Mayfield with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with Virgin Money. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am downsizing from my house. My former lawyers has retired. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Mayfield if that affects matters.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Mayfield both have in the region of 50 years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

    How much is the ground rent and service charge? Is there a share of the freehold? What prohibitions are contained in the Mayfield Lease?

Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Mayfield being on the bank conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our mortgage company?

We do not recommend specific Mayfield firms as the right Mayfield conveyancing firm for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Mayfield knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
