I was recommended to a conveyancer who has given a fee estimate £995 for leasehold conveyancing in Wick. I am hoping to sell a newly refurbished property for £175,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Wick?

The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side.

My solicitor has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Wick. The other side have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected.

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Wick. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How does conveyancing in Wick differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Wick contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Wick typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wick or who has acted in the same development.
