We had chosen solicitors with offices in West Cross on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Aldermore but by your West Cross solicitor. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Leeds Building Society as we intend to conduct alterations to our home in West Cross. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar West Cross solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Leeds Building Society don't usually require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.
Coventry BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in West Cross has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Coventry BS or your broker and finalise any relevant documentation. Coventry BS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. Coventry BS will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in West Cross.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in West Cross took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in West Cross. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in West Cross
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
