Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Yeovil but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but HSBC are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The solicitor that is on the HSBC approved list is obliged to disclose to HSBC of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Yeovil.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Yeovil is more expensive?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold property in Yeovil is frequently more expensive than on a freehold transaction. This is because there is an amount of extra investigations required in liaising with the landlord and managing agents to collate the information concerning whether the rent and maintenance fee have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
My husband and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Yeovil with a loan from Bank of Ireland.We like our Yeovil conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland says he's not on their approved list of firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland
