My best friend’s sister is a conveyancer. I anticipate that I'll be able to get mate’s fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Wickersley?
It’s wise to get multiple conveyancing estimates. Do use our comparison tool on this page. The quotes may contrast greatly but service levels do differ between property lawyers as is true with most professions.
About to place a bid on a leasehold flat in Wickersley. The selling agents advise that it is standard for flats in Wickersley to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am taking out a mortgage with Virgin. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 70 years unexpired.
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 8/2/2026 the requirements read as follows :
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Wickersley conveyancing solicitors are selected. How long does it take for Aldermore to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore conducted the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being pedantic. The Wickersley solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Wickersley is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am buying my first flat in Wickersley benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Wickersley is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Wickersley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wickersley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wickersley may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Taking into account that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Wickersley I would like to talk to a conveyancer regarding thehouse move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Wickersley.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a file number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for your conveyancing in Wickersley should be the figure that you are charged.
