My brother and I have lately acquired a house in Minera. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Minera?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Minera. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Minera.
We note that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Minera?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Minera.
I am buying a terrace house in Minera. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor should review the deeds as conveyancing in Minera will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or require the permission of a 3rd party. Some additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
When it comes to lenders such as Nottingham, do Minera property lawyers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We had instructed solicitors with offices in Minera on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Minera conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Am I better off to instruct a Minera conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can deal with the conveyancing but they are based 300kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Minera conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Minera conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
When it comes to my conveyancing in Minera should I be charged VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee
(1) Land reg fee on purchase - No (2) Pre - completion search fees -No, (such conveyancing searches are HMLR ones and means £4 and possibly £2 bankruptcy per name on your mortgage) (3) SDLT E submission on your purchase - There is no VAT on Stamp Duty. However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Minera conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the conveyancer's time in submitting the funds this way.
