Can your site be used to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Arundel even if I’m not purchasing or selling a house, for example where I intend to acquire an office in Arundel with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires?
The service is predominantly used to get a quote from domestic conveyancing solicitors in Arundel but we have set out towards the end of this page a few Arundel commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to speak with the company directly to see if they are also authorised to represent Birmingham Midshires
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Arundel. I need to find out if they are on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
You should contact your lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively you can get in touch with Nottingham Building Society who may be able to confirm.
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Arundel conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Arundel.
I am buying a new build house in Arundel with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with Virgin Money. 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 am employed by a long established estate agent office in Arundel where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Arundel conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Arundel, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2005. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Arundel with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2090
You have 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £13,300 and £15,400 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I have been looking for Arundel competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be assured that all the Arundel law firms that are identified on your site are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Arundel firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
