I am purchasing a new build flat in Stourport On Severn and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I have no desire to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
My Conveyancer in Stourport On Severn is not on the Barnsley Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Barnsley Building Society panel?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Stourport On Severn solicitors but Barnsley Building Society will need to instruct a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing fees and result in delays.
- Get a new practitioner to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Barnsley Building Society panel
Me and my partner are buying a flat in Stourport On Severn. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Stourport On Severn what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Stourport On Severn conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
We were going to get a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Stourport On Severn solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Stourport On Severn solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Stourport On Severn I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Stourport On Severn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Is there a reason that Stourport On Severn conveyancing fees are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is more work required in leasehold conveyancing. Stourport On Severn has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
