Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tower Hill

Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Tower Hill who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Halifax. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. Where you are content to spend time scrutinising costs you could reduce the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were content with the conveyancing the firm gave you maycome to rue choosing an an untested solicitor. Remember to enquire that the firm can represent Halifax.

Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Tower Hill can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner.

TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Tower Hill postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Tower Hill.

The estate agent will need to be informed of your lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Coventry BS or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Coventry BS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Coventry BS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers.

Myself and my wife have just had an offer agreed on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to selecting a solicitor that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will be subject to an an extra fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

You should ask Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to find you a conveyancer in Tower Hill on the approved list for Nationwide.
