We are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Snaith but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Aldermore are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Any property lawyer being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Aldermore of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Snaith.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Snaith conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel?
Snaith conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Skipton directly.
We are planning to buy with Coventry BS. I dropped in 3 or 4 local practices but cant to find a Snaith conveyancing firm on the Coventry BS panel. Please you help?

I am helping my mother sell her flat in Snaith. Will the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was maintained a mandatory part of moving property. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Snaith conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable local accredited person
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Snaith lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Snaith is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Snaith. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Snaith
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Snaith I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Snaith for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
