Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bramhall

Please help. My Bramhall solicitor is informing me me that she is duty bound toconduct Bramhall conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?

You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bramhall conveyancing searches.

How up to date is your database of Bramhall solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Do Coventry BS send you an updated list?

Bramhall conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.

We are buying a detached bungalow in Bramhall. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal work on the property involve investigations to see if these alterations are prohibited?

Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Bramhall will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

We had instructed conveyancers located in Bramhall on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Santander but by your Bramhall conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Kent Reliance as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Bramhall. Do we need to select a nearby Bramhall solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Kent Reliance would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance panel.

I purchased my house on 1 May and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Bramhall advises it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Bramhall particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Bramhall registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Bramhall I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bramhall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

My father-in-law has suggested that I appoint his conveyancers in Bramhall. Do I follow his advice?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Bramhall conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or family who have actually used the conveyancer you're contemplating using.
