We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Principality conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Trimdon?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Trimdon.
We are buying a apartment in Trimdon. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Is it correct that all Trimdon CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Virgin Money conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Trimdon. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Trimdon.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Trimdon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Trimdon. Having lived in Trimdon for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am buying a new build house in Trimdon with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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 in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Trimdon. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Trimdon - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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 bought a 1st floor flat in Trimdon, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease?

You have 68 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

Where you are buying in Trimdon It is important that your conveyancer carry out all Trimdon conveyancing searches required to ensure you have accurate and current information before purchasing a property.
