I am expecting a mortgage offer from Lloyds. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Rush Green. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
AssumingI were to buy a simple residential homein Rush Green for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Rush Green?
The only saving you would make on is the Rush Green conveyancing searches. A property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Rush Green is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold premises in Rush Green is often more expensive as compared to a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of supplemental investigations required in liaising with the landlord and management company to obtain information about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
How does conveyancing in Rush Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rush Green come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Rush Green usually acquire the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Rush Green or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Rush Green ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on such a property.
