Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Penistone

My wife and I are purchasing a property in Penistone. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Penistone conveyancing solicitors are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative conducted the survey? Have you advised Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Penistone building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Penistone conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the lender panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

How does conveyancing in Penistone differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Penistone contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Penistone usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Penistone or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Penistone I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Penistone in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Is it simple use the search app to find a conveyancing solicitor in Penistone on the panel for my lender?

1st select a bank such as Accord Mortgages Ltd, Coventry Building Society or Britannia then specify your preferred area such as Penistone. Conveyancing practices in Penistone and across England and Wales will then be identified.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Penistone

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Penistone conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

When it comes to my conveyancing in Penistone should I be charged VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee

(1) Land reg fee on purchase - No (2) Pre - completion search fees -No, (such conveyancing searches are HMLR ones and means £4 and possibly £2 bankruptcy per name on your mortgage) (3) SDLT E submission on your purchase - There is no VAT on Stamp Duty. However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Penistone conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the lawyer's time in submitting the funds this way.
