Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Virginia Water

I have just started taking steps with the intention of switching my current residential mortgage to a Buy to Let Alliance & Leicester mortgage. The bank has said that I need a solicitor for this. I got in contact with my past Virginia Water conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I previously bought the premises. The costs illustration they've given of £550 has shocked me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you are willing to invest time contrasting charges you could trim some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the legal work the firm offered you maycome to regret opting for an a cheaper solicitor.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being difficult. The Virginia Water solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have instructed a Virginia Water lawyer having made sure that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Virginia Water surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Virginia Water I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Virginia Water suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Is it simple use your search app to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Virginia Water on the authorised to act for my mortgage?

1st choose a mortgage company such as Santander, Barnsley Building Society or Godiva Mortgages Ltd then choose your preferred area a common one being Virginia Water. Conveyancing firms in Virginia Water and nationally should be identified.

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Friday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved panel of lawyers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?

You can enquire of Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Another option is to use our search facility and we may be able to find you a solicitor in Virginia Water on the panel for Nationwide.
