The mortgage agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my 4 room apartment is coming within the next few days. Are you able to recommend a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Shoreham By Sea?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the lowest fares for conveyancing in Shoreham By Sea. Our goal is to offer excellent value conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations offering ninety nine pound conveyancing in Shoreham By Sea. At best, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you with a surprising uplift in additional fees and still not end up with the service expected.

Your solicitor should check the registered title as conveyancing in Shoreham By Sea can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or require the permission of another owner. Certain works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Shoreham By Sea conveyancing practitioner on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have instructed a Shoreham By Sea conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Shoreham By Sea surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Shoreham By Sea. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shoreham By Sea and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Shoreham By Sea benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Coventry Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Shoreham By Sea is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Shoreham By Sea are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shoreham By Sea you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shoreham By Sea may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Am I right to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Shoreham By Sea conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may suggest lawyers to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
