I am getting closer to an exchange on a property in Runcorn and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
Your solicitor is legally required to check with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We are planning to purchase with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. We have called around locally yet am unable to find a Runcorn conveyancing firm on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel. Could you assist?
Feel free to make the most of the search tool on this web page. Pick the building society and type Runcorn or your preferred area and you will be presented with a number of lawyer located in Runcorn or by proximity to you.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Runcorn
There are two types of lawyers who can do conveyancing in Runcorn namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals handle the legal services that you need to complete the sale or acquisition of property. Both are duty bound to handle Runcorn conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that all necessary steps should be accurately followed.
We had selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Runcorn on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Skipton but by your Runcorn conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Runcorn solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Runcorn 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.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Runcorn conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Runcorn conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you talk with two or three firms including non Runcorn conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Runcorn who can give a testimonial? If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason?
I bought a basement flat in Runcorn, conveyancing formalities finalised November 2012. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Runcorn with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2091
With just 66 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
Please set a few of distinct benefits to selecting a high street conveyancer in Runcorn
Home movers in Runcorn choose a local property lawyer so that they can visit in the event that they have concerns, and to sign mortgage deeds without using the post.
There is a slight benefit when opting for a conveyancer local to the property you are hoping to purchase, due to the knowledge of the region and possible local issues - but this is moot. Most conveyancers undertaking their work via the web and could be anywhere in the world.
