My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in St Neots. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers. Could you help?
You should phone the conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with Godiva Mortgages Ltd who may be able to assist.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in St Neots
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest St Neots conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are looking for a St Neots solicitor on the Lloyds please use our facility.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in St Neots. 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 Leeds Building Society 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 St Neots solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I bought a basement flat in St Neots, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in St Neots with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2096
With only 71 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
