Recently asked questions about conveyancing in St Margarets

Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in St Margarets who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative property lawyer?

The costs illustration is fractionally on the steep side. If you you were to look around you might decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were happy with the service the firm provided you mightlive to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. If is important to enquire that the solicitor can represent Nottingham Building Society. You can employ our search tool to choose a St Margarets conveyancing firm on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in St Margarets.

The vendors of the property we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in St Margarets who has suggested a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such arrangements generally advanced for St Margarets conveyancing transactions?

There are two primary downsides with signing a lock out agreement (sometimes known as a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst St Margarets conveyancing practitioners as a result. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is extremely unlikely to be granted an injunction to bar the seller selling to a third party, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of damages.

Are the St Margarets conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Co-operative?

St Margarets conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.

Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to list firms on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for example in St Margarets?

Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in St Margarets I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Margarets in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can 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 current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an flat in St Margarets accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, although it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in St Margarets. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham started with Nottingham?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, St Margarets conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in St Margarets.
