Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thirsk

IfI was to buy a freehold homein Thirsk mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Thirsk?

The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the costs for searches. The solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be a lot.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Barclays, do Thirsk solicitors incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

Does a directory service exist listing Skipton panel conveyancers in Thirsk on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings viewable online. If you are in need of a Thirsk conveyancer on the Skipton please use our tool.

I currently have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Thirsk. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?

You must advise Kent Reliance before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. You need not do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Thirsk I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Thirsk in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Is it simple use your search tool to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Thirsk on the panel for my bank?

1st pick a lender such as Accord Mortgages Ltd, Virgin Money or Britannia then type in your preferred area for example Thirsk. Conveyancing practices in Thirsk and further afield will then be shown.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Thirsk

It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Thirsk conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

What can I do where I am not happy with the solicitor who conducted my conveyancing in Thirsk?

We live in an imperfect world, and unfortunately occasionally matters do not go as planned. Nevertheless there is recourse where you were not happy with your conveyancing in Thirsk. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a property lawyer to their regulator. If things still aren’t sorted out you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
