Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ashtead

My previous lawyer has quoted just over a thousand pound for fixed fee conveyancing in Ashtead. I am hoping to sell a newly refurbished house for £200,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Ashtead?

The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you shop around you could decrease the fees slightly by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldcome to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to ensure that the firm can represent your bank. You can make use of our search tool to find a Ashtead conveyancing firm on the lender’s approved list of lawyers which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Ashtead.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Ashtead. The Ashtead property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this clause principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Ashtead has been agreed to, now what?

Your property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Clydesdale or your broker and complete any outstanding documentation. Clydesdale will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Ashtead.

My sealed bid on a house in Ashtead has been agreed to, the sellers do however have a tied purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Ashtead. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Ashtead conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Ashtead.
