Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Wells costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Wells and Somerset usually involve more hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, liaising with the landlord about serving applicable notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first granted.
We are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Wells with a loan from Alliance & Leicester .We would like to retain our Wells conveyancing lawyer but Alliance & Leicester advised that his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Alliance & Leicester approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Wells. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Wells?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Wells. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Wells. The Wells property was put into my name in December. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause primarily exists to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We previously appointed conveyancers located in Wells on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Wells conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Co-operative panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
