IfI was to acquire a simple residential homein Sprotbrough mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Sprotbrough?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the Sprotbrough conveyancing searches. The property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be significant.
We are due to move property in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Sprotbrough. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this can only be done after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Sprotbrough or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Sprotbrough.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Sprotbrough solicitor on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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 Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Sprotbrough accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Sprotbrough. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Sprotbrough conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Sprotbrough.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Sprotbrough took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Last May I purchased a leasehold house in Sprotbrough. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

What is the name of the managing agents? It is important to be aware whether fixing the lift or some other major work is due shortly that will be shared between the leasehold owners and could well materially increase the the service fees or result in a specific invoice.
