Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ormesby

Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Ormesby who conducted the legals 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. I am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or should I try and find a cheaper internet property lawyer?

The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you are prepared to invest time comparing charges you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were content with the legal work the firm provided you maycome to rue choosing an an untested lawyer.

We are about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Ormesby. We have hit a snag. Our mortgage offer with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society expires on 8/12/2025 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 10/12/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan offer?

The best person to deal with your issue is your solicitors who will calculate whether they better off negotiating with the bank, seller’s solicitors, selling agents or possibly all parties based on what has gone on in your house move to date.

My husband and I are hoping to buy a newly converted flat in Ormesby with a residential mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We use our Ormesby conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd advised that her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd

Will my solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Ormesby.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Ormesby. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Ormesby, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Ormesby. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the owner to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Ormesby I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Ormesby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Ormesby

It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Ormesby conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
