Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oxford

Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Oxford even where I’m not buying or selling a house, for example if I intend to acquire a shop in Oxford with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society?

Our comparison service is primarily there to select residential conveyancing solicitors in Oxford but we have set out at the bottom of this page some Oxford commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to make contact with the firm directly to check if they can also act for Yorkshire Building Society

I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Oxford. Does the conveyancer arrange an EPC or should I organise this?

Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a compulsory component of moving property. An energy assessment should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that lawyers normally arrange. If you are using a Oxford conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Oxford conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for TSB to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB done the valuation? Have you advised TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Intending to buy a apartment in Oxford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Oxford solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Oxford?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Oxford. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm purchasing my first flat in Oxford with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
