We are acquiring a brand new flat in Ormesby and my lawyer is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Please help - my lawyer says that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Ormesby?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers located in Ormesby on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Ormesby conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Ormesby. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Ormesby before instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on such a property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ormesby. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
Is it possible to switch conveyancer as I have to choose one who is on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing list. I had appointed a family conveyancing solicitor in Ormesby round the corner but the firm is not accepted by Platform Home Loans Ltd

Please note that the solicitors that we list do not pay us commission if you instruct them and are authorised and regulated by the SRA who regulate all conveyancing solicitors in Ormesby.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Ormesby
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Ormesby conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
I am looking for Ormesby conveyancing quotes online. Can I be confident that all the Ormesby practices that are listed on your website are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the mortgage company panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Ormesby firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is not accurate.
