I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Thirsk with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS 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.
What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Thirsk
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Thirsk conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Thirsk conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. How long does it take for HSBC to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC conducted the survey? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Thirsk. I have a mortgage offer with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Thirsk
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Thirsk conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Thirsk. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Thirsk - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a basement flat in Thirsk, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Thirsk with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2089
With 63 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
