I have just started taking steps with a view to swapping over from my domestic mortgage to a Buy to Let Yorkshire Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a lawyer as part of the process. I got in contact with my past Morganstown conveyancing solicitor who dealt with the legals when I initially purchased the premises. The quote provided of £575 plus disbursements is surprising as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you are happy to expend time scrutinising charges you might decrease the fees marginally by as much as £125. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm offered you mightlive to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Don't forget to be sure that the solicitor can also act for Yorkshire Building Society.

My wife and I are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Morganstown but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor in the sum of three thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Skipton will not agree to this. Why were they informed?
Any solicitor that is on the Skipton approved list is obliged to advise Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Morganstown.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Morganstown. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Having legally committed yourself to purchase you must find a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property will have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the legal papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Morganstown. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Principality be concerned?
Given that your lender is Principality your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Morganstown.
I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Morganstown solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Morganstown is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Morganstown are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Morganstown you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Morganstown 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 residence.
My father has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Morganstown. Should I choose my own conveyancer?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Morganstown conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor that you are considering.
