Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mortimer

I am due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Mortimer but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement however UBS are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

The conveyancing practitioner that is on the UBS approved list is required to inform UBS of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Mortimer.

When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Mortimer and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?

Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Mortimer you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mortimer)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am helping my sister sell her house in Mortimer. Does the conveyancer commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?

Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was kept a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. It is not a task that solicitors normally organise. Where you are instructing a Mortimer conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable Mortimer accredited person

is it true that all Mortimer conveyancing solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.

We previously selected conveyancers with offices in Mortimer on the RBS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate amount for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Mortimer property lawyer. Some firms on the RBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

A friend suggested that if I am purchasing in Mortimer I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mortimer before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Mortimer. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Mortimer to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
