We opted for a Paulton based firm for our conveyancing in Paulton yesterday. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Paulton?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract those transactions that abort. Also remember that such arrangements tend not to cover outlay such as Paulton conveyancing search expenses.
Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Paulton?
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Paulton and Solicitor practices in Paulton who provide Conveyancing services We would stress that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in the home buying process. The two can deal with other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Paulton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Paulton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Paulton. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Paulton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Paulton conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying my first flat in Paulton with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it may impact my loan with National Westminster Bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Paulton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Paulton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Paulton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Paulton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
