Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Yaxley

I plan on purchasing a ground floor flat in Yaxley. My lawyer is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Can I still use my Yaxley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Your options include

  • Complete the purchase with your existing Yaxley conveyancing practitioner but your mortgage company will need to appoint a conveyancer from their approved list. This will result in additional cost and probable delay.
  • Choose a new conveyancer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your lawyer to do everything possible to join the mortgage company conveyancing panel

We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Yaxley who is on the Barclays approved panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Barclays . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Yaxley.

Can I be sure that the Yaxley conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Yaxley getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.

My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Virgin Money as we intend to carry out renovations to our home in Yaxley. Do we need to select a high street Yaxley solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Virgin Money do not ordinarily instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, RBS are being a right pain. The Yaxley solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS 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.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Yaxley. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Yaxley

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Yaxley in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to give a mortgage on such a home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Yaxley.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £250,000 flat in Yaxley in just under a week. The landlords agents has quoted £384 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Yaxley?

Yaxley conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes ordinarily involves fees being invoiced by freeholders :

    Completing conveyancing due diligence questions Where consent is required before sale in Yaxley Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Yaxley leasehold property is £350. For Yaxley conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide answers.
