We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Stanwick found by you but have come across alternative costs illustrations on the internet seem cheaper – how come?
There are many firms of conveyancing organisations advertising pretending to offer cut-price conveyancing, unfortunately it’s common in such cases for supplementalcharges result in the closing invoice being escalated. According to the Legal Ombudsman costs set out in terms and conditions should be equitable raised The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Stanwick specify all costs for a standard conveyancing case.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Principality, do Stanwick conveyancing practitioners face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Stanwick conveyancing lawyers were appointed. How long does it take for Yorkshire BS to send the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Yorkshire BS done the survey? Have you informed Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Stanwick conveyancing practitioner on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, 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 Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am purchasing a new build house in Stanwick with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Stanwick is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Stanwick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stanwick you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stanwick may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Stanwick. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the invoice as normal as all rents and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
