We chose a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Walton recently. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I notewe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose a web based conveyancing company offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Walton?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover the transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such promotions generally do not cover expenses such your Walton conveyancing search costs.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Walton conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
Walton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.
I am due to move property in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Walton. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent however this should only be done once the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Walton or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Walton.
I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Walton. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
You must advise TSB in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Walton solicitor - who is on the TSB conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Walton 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.
