Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Stoke Sub Hamdon who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from TSB. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?
The quote is fractionally on the high side. If you shop around you could reduce the fees slightly by as much as £125. That being said, providing that you were happy with the service the firm gave you couldlive to rue choosing an an untested conveyancer. Remember to ensure that the conveyancer can represent TSB.

I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Sub Hamdon. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you assist?
You should call the conveyancer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should call Clydesdale who may be able to confirm.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Stoke Sub Hamdon. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Sub Hamdon?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Stoke Sub Hamdon. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we wish to conduct improvements to our property in Stoke Sub Hamdon. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Stoke Sub Hamdon solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Bank of Ireland would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
My wife and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Stoke Sub Hamdon and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with RBS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with RBS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Stoke Sub Hamdon. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Stoke Sub Hamdon
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Stoke Sub Hamdon I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stoke Sub Hamdon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will 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 property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My partner and I are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Stoke Sub Hamdon, and are now looking to get solicitors lined up. I have made use of the different comparison tools and the quotes are from all across the the UK. Is it essential to have a Stoke Sub Hamdon conveyancer local to the potential new home? I am content to do everything electronically, but I am thinking at some point we may need to visit the conveyancer's office to sign documents?
On the whole there is no need to attend the office of your solicitor, they can send any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many home movers choose to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means essential for conveyancing in Stoke Sub Hamdon.
