Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Stone who acted for me 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Birmingham Midshires. I am now being charged twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you are happy to invest time comparing costs you may be able to shave off some of the expense by perhaps £125. On the other hand, assuming were satisfied with the legal work the firm gave you couldcome to regret opting for an an unknown solicitor. Remember to ensure the solicitor can act for Birmingham Midshires.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Stone. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Our sealed bid on a semi in Stone has been accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Stone. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Stone conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Stone. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Stone
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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.
