My best friend’s sister is a solicitor. I am hopeful that I'll be able to get mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Paulton?
It’s advisable to seek multiple conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this site. Whilst quotes do vary but service levels do differ between property lawyers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Paulton. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Paulton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
My lawyer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Paulton?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Paulton building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Paulton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
