We instructed a Rawcliffe based lawyer for my conveyancing in Rawcliffe last week. Going through the Ts and Cs I noteI am responsible for costs even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to use a web based solicitor practice who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Rawcliffe?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise those cases that abort. Do bear in mind that such promotions rarely cover outlay e.g. Rawcliffe conveyancing search costs.
I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Rawcliffe. My lender is Accord Mortgages
Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 23/8/2026, the requirements read as follows :
My partner and I are selling our property in Rawcliffe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rawcliffe. Having lived in Rawcliffe for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
The deeds to our property are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Rawcliffe 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Rawcliffe ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Rawcliffe. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Rawcliffe especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Rawcliffe.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Rawcliffe.Conveyancing has not commenced but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and service charges should be apportionedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
