Having been referred to your organisation we were going to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Taverham recommended using your comparison tool but stumbled across some other quotes on the internet appear less pricey – why is this?
One can find lots of conveyancers offering at first sight what seems to be very low prices. Our advice is to think twice as to how important this transaction is to you that want to take 'cheap' risks with regard to the quality of the legal work. Many of them accentuate a cheap fee as a headline but bury supplemental charges in the fine print..
My son-in-law is buying a new build apartment in Taverham with a mortgage from TSB. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the TSB conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Taverham?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Taverham or throughout Norfolk is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and sometimes the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Taverham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
I am mortgaging my home in Taverham, does my lawyer need to be on the Leeds Building Society Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Taverham I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Taverham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
