Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Winton

Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Winton who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Bank of Ireland. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online conveyancer?

The charges appear a bit high. If you are content to invest time scrutinising charges you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were satisfied with the assistance the firm gave you couldcome to rue opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to be sure the solicitor can act for Bank of Ireland. You can employ our search tool to get a quote a Winton conveyancing firm on the Bank of Ireland member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Winton.

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a Winton based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you want the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender to ask if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Winton.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Winton off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Winton property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Winton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Our offer on a detached house in Winton has been agreed to, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Winton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality going?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Winton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Winton.

I own a renovated Georgian property in Winton. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Winton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Winton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Winton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Winton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Winton may decide 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 premises.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a property in Neath but I am based in Winton. My lawyer (based 235 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Winton who can witness this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Winton based
