IfI was to purchase a simple residential housein Vauxhall for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Vauxhall?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the Vauxhall conveyancing searches. The lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers property lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it won't be significant.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Vauxhall. I need to find out if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you assist?
The first thing you should do is phone your solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can call Leeds Building Society who may be able to help.
My wife and I are buying a flat in Vauxhall. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
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.
I am due to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Vauxhall. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent but this can only be done once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Vauxhall or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Vauxhall.
It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Vauxhall building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Vauxhall conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Vauxhall is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Vauxhall are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Vauxhall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Vauxhall may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am four weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to execute conveyancing in Vauxhall. I am not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A conveyancer would need to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new solicitor and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid escalating expenses and complications. So that should be your starting point.
