My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Chorley and Eccleston. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should phone the conveyancer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can get in touch with Nottingham Building Society who may be able to confirm.
We are aiming to move property in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Chorley and Eccleston. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent but this should only be done once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Chorley and Eccleston or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Chorley and Eccleston.
We previously instructed conveyancers with offices in Chorley and Eccleston on the Santander solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Santander?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Santander but by your Chorley and Eccleston conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being problematic. The Chorley and Eccleston solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Chorley and Eccleston I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chorley and Eccleston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Chorley and Eccleston Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing
-
It is important to be aware whether a new roof is being put on or some other major work is pending to be shared between the tenants and may well dramatically increase the the maintenance costs or require a one time invoice. What is the the remaining lease term? You should be aware that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension at some point and it is worth finding out what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for two years before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension.
