Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Basinghall

I plan on acquiring a maisonette in Basinghall. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company approved list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Basinghall conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel?

Various options include

  • Proceed with your preferred Basinghall solicitor but your mortgage company will no doubt use a property lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with probable interruption.
  • Get a new solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
  • Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to seek to join the lender panel

My wife and I are acquiring a brand new apartment in Basinghall and my lawyer is advising me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the builder. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and my preference is not to prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

We previously selected conveyancers locally in Basinghall on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Basinghall conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Basinghall off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

My offer on a property in Basinghall has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Basinghall. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Basinghall conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.

I need some expedited conveyancing in Basinghall as I am under an ultimatum to exchange contracts inside one month. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are not getting a home loan you are at liberty not to do searches although no law firm would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Basinghall the following are examples of what can crop up and adversely impact future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Basinghall before retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on such a property.
