Having been suggested to visit your organisation we were going to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Surrey endorsed using your search tool but stumbled across some other costs illustrations on the internet look cheaper – how come?
There are hundreds of conveyancers advertising what appear to be cut price. Our advice is to think twice as to how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the standard of the legal work. Some hide fees deep into the terms and conditions. The conveyancers that we put forward for conveyancing in Surrey neverdo this.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Surrey , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Surrey conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Surrey registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Surrey benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Surrey I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Surrey for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Given that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Surrey I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehouse move prior to instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Surrey.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for your conveyancing in Surrey should be the figure that you end up paying.
My fiance and I are purchasing a three room apartmentin Surrey with a loan from a lender. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Surrey yet our lender says he's not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our bank panel firms or keep our Surrey solicitor and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Surrey : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
