I went with a local firm for my conveyancing in Wembley Central last week. Upon checking the Terms it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or choose a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no move no charge conveyancing in Wembley Central?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the cases that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these offerings rarely cover expenses such as Wembley Central conveyancing search expenses.
We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Wembley Central on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Wembley Central solicitor. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The Wembley Central solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Wembley Central on 3/4/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
