Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Walton on the Naze who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Birmingham Midshires. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

The estimate does seem a little on the high side. Where you are happy to invest time contrasting costs you may be able to shave off some of the expense by as much as £125. On the other hand, if you were happy with the assistance the firm provided you couldcome to rue choosing an an untested conveyancer.

The Walton on the Naze conveyancing firm handling our Walton on the Naze conveyancing has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance correct?

Do not opt for the lowest Walton on the Naze conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Walton on the Naze. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB 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 TSB your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Walton on the Naze.

The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Walton on the Naze. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Walton on the Naze conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Walton on the Naze.
