A mortgage offer from NatWest for the remortgage of my single bedroom maisonette is due by the end of next week. Can you propose a low cost conveyancing practitioner in Woodborough?
You have come to the wrong place to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Woodborough. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies enticing you with £99 conveyancing in Woodborough. In your best case scenario, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you being stung for extras and still not end up with the service expected.
When it comes to lenders such as Santander, do Woodborough lawyers 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 fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Does a directory service exist listing Leeds Building Society panel solicitors in Woodborough on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings visible on the web. Where you are looking for a Woodborough lawyer on the Leeds Building Society please use our facility.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being pedantic. The Woodborough solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham 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.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Woodborough 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am buying my first flat in Woodborough benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Woodborough. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I inherited a leasehold flat in Woodborough, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1995. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Woodborough with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2083
With 57 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
