Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Somerstown

My fiance’s uncle is a conveyancer. I expect that I will be offered mate’s fee for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Somerstown?

I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Somerstown. I have been residing for the last 20 years in Somerstown. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Somerstown conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house one day, it may be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still show up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Somerstown should be able to give you some constructive guidance concerning this.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Somerstown costs more?

Somerstown leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Somerstown. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have 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 currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Somerstown. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Santander?

You must advise Santander prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Santander will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Santander conveyancing panel lawyer.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Aldermore are being pedantic. The Somerstown solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

The deeds to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Somerstown 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you can buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.
