Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Romsley

All was ready to move into my new home in Romsley next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 conditions. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Romsley.

Do conveyancers request money on account when it comes to conveyancing in Romsley?

If you are buying a property in Romsley your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be required shortly before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.

Me and my partner are buying a property in Romsley. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

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 previously instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Romsley on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for handling the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Romsley property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Virgin Money panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.

We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Romsley solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Romsley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Romsley. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Romsley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Romsley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Romsley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

In surfing the internet for the words conveyancing in Romsley it brings up many conveyancersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for purchase transaction?

The preferential way of finding a suitable conveyancer is via trusted referral, so enquire of colleagues and those you trust who have acquired a property in Romsley or a local estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Romsley vary, so it's advisable to obtain a minimum of four costs illustrations from varying types of companies. Be sure to seek confirmation that the fees are fixed.
