Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Principality but by your Adlington property lawyer. Some firms on the Principality panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
We were going to get a AIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Adlington solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Adlington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
How does conveyancing in Adlington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Adlington approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Adlington usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Adlington or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Adlington I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Adlington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
