Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Westbourne

I decided to go with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Westbourne recently. Going through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not happen. Should I go with them or use a web based lawyer promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Westbourne?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that these arrangements generally do not cover disbursements for example Westbourne conveyancing search fees.

My wife and I are refinancing our apartment in Westbourne with Lloyds. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Lloyds conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Lloyds. This is solely used to protect Lloyds if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Lloyds had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Westbourne?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Westbourne your solicitor will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search.

Any further balance that is due should be transferred a few days ahead of the day of completion.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Westbourne?
