Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Ormskirk is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Ormskirk and elsewhere usually warrants extra hours of investigation compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord concerning the service of appropriate notices, procuring current service charge and management information, securing the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Ormskirk for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank The Mortgage Works won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Banks normally restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few banks have reduced the number of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. Be aware that The Mortgage Works have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of The Mortgage Works Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions about the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Ormskirk only execute very few conveyances a year.
