Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sneyd Green

We see that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Sneyd Green?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Sneyd Green.

Does a directory service exist listing HSBC panel conveyancers in Sneyd Green on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are looking for a Sneyd Green lawyer on the HSBC please use our tool.

We expect to receive 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 Sneyd Green solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Sneyd Green 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.

My sealed bid on a semi in Sneyd Green has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sneyd Green. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Sneyd Green conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.

I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Sneyd Green. I now require my file however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

Do contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Sneyd Green of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Sneyd Green I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Sneyd Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Sneyd Green what are the most common lease problems?

Leasehold conveyancing in Sneyd Green is not unique. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Insurance obligations

You may encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Coventry Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Sneyd Green, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Sneyd Green with an extended lease are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2096

You have 71 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.

My husband and I have just had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of property lawyers then we will incur an additional fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?

You should ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to use our search tool and we may be able to find you a lawyer in Sneyd Green on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
