Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wimborne

I can see plenty of here regarding conveyancing in Wimborne but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Wimborne

Do not opt for the lowest Wimborne conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

is it true that all Wimborne solicitor practices on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be governed by the CLC.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Wimborne conveyancer on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Coventry BS mortgage has been paid off.

Just bought a terraced house in Wimborne , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Wimborne conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wimborne registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am purchasing a new build house in Wimborne with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Wimborne I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wimborne for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a property in Cardiff but reside in Wimborne. My lawyer (approximately 235 miles from mehas requested that I execute a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Wimborne to witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Wimborne based

I pay a maintenance contribution for my flat in Wimborne. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains about £1750 outstanding as of today.

I want to sell and I am panicking this could hold me back if I have to settle the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the proceeds - is this possible?

Your lawyer will hopefully be able to negotiate with the appropriate parties, with a new to seeing if they would accept payment from sale proceeds. This is indicative of why it is advisable to use a conveyancing practitioner in Wimborne as they are likely to have an open line of communication with the management company.
