I decided to go with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Batheaston yesterday. Upon checking the Terms it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or choose a web based solicitor practice offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Batheaston?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset those transactions that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that such offerings generally do not protect you from expenditure e.g. Batheaston conveyancing search costs.

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Batheaston will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Batheaston.

These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Batheaston.
I purchased my house on 3 February and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Batheaston advises it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Batheaston particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Batheaston is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Batheaston benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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'm remortgaging my current house to a BTL mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on another house. The area we are looking at is Batheaston. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two banks and link together the transactions?

I own a leasehold flat in Batheaston. Conveyancing and The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Batheaston who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Batheaston conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. 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. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
