Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Speke

Finally, a mortgage agreement from HSBC for the refinancing of my single room garden flat is coming any day now. Can you suggest a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Speke?

You have come to the wrong site to search for a cheap conveyancing in Speke. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers.

The optimum outcome, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up spending a lot in additional fees and still not end up with the service required.

The Speke conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Speke have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my previous Speke lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

I am buying a property in Speke. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is UBS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Speke.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Speke. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Speke lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

I've digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Speke solicitor - who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Speke postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Speke.

I need some fast conveyancing in Speke as I am faced with pressure to complete in less than one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Speke the following are instances of issues that can be revealed and adversely affect future mortgageability: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

How does conveyancing in Speke differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Speke contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Speke usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Speke or who has acted in the same development.
