Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shanklin

I am considering applying for a Leeds Building Society mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Shanklin with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Leeds Building Society will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of stalling in Shanklin conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Shanklin.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Shanklin. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
