We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Northamptonshire endorsed by you but have come across alternative fee calculations on the internet look less pricey – why is this?
You can find plenty of conveyancing organisations advertising so-called cheap conveyancing, yet more often than not supplementalfees end up with the final invoice mounting up beyond all recognition. In accordance with regulatory requirements charges outlined in terms of business should be honest and reasonable invoiced The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Northamptonshire clearly state all legal fees for a residential conveyancing case.
My fiance and I are refinancing our apartment in Northamptonshire with Bank of Ireland. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Bank of Ireland. This is solely used to protect Bank of Ireland if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Bank of Ireland had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Northamptonshire and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Northamptonshire. We have lived in Northamptonshire for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Northamptonshire and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business tenants, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Northamptonshire is one of our numerous areas of the UK in which our lawyers are based
Am I best advised to choose a Northamptonshire conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can deal with the conveyancing however his firm is located approximately 350kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Northamptonshire conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Northamptonshire know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Northamptonshire conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Northamptonshire based.
