Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Whickham

I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Whickham. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Barclays approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

You should phone your solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Barclays who may be able to assist.

I am planning to move property in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Whickham. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across this website.

On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this can only happen after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Whickham or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Whickham.

When it comes to lenders such as Barclays, do Whickham solicitors incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

About to purchase house in Whickham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Whickham conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I need some quick conveyancing in Whickham as I have pressure to sign on the dotted line in less than one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Whickham I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whickham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Whickham. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Whickham - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
