Our family solicitor has sent a quote for £1200 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Bishopston. I’m looking to sell a purpose built property for £175,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bishopston?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you are prepared to expend time comparing charges you might decrease the fees slightly by say a hundred pounds. That being said, you mightcome to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. If is important to enquire the firm can also act for your mortgage company.

We are acquiring a newly built apartment in Bishopston and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the developer. I am under pressure to exchange and I have no desire to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

is it true that all Bishopston conveyancing solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.
Our offer on a semi in Bishopston has been accepted, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Bishopston. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Bishopston conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
