At long last a mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my single room garden flat is expected within the next few days. Are you able to recommend a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Shepshed?
You have arrived at the wrong site to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Shepshed. Our goal is to offer value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint companies offering £99 conveyancing in Shepshed. Optimistically, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service required.
I am nearing an exchange on a flat in Shepshed and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Shepshed. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory part of moving property. An EPC needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are using a Shepshed conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Shepshed providers
We previously instructed conveyancers with offices in Shepshed on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further fee for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Principality but by your Shepshed conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Shepshed off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Shepshed benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
