Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burntwood

Can I use your services to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Burntwood even if I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for example if I intend to acquire an office in Burntwood with a loan from Bank of Scotland?

I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Burntwood. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Alliance & Leicester conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

The first thing you should do is call your solicitor and enquire if they can act for the lender. Alternatively you can call Alliance & Leicester who may be able to assist.

I need some expedited conveyancing in Burntwood as I am faced with a deadline to sign on the dotted line inside one month. A mortgage is not required. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are are a mortgage free buyer you have the choice not to do searches although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Burntwood the following are instances of what can appear and adversely affect future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

I am purchasing a new build house in Burntwood with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. 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 have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Burntwood. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you pay the invoice as you normally would as all rents and service invoices will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I acquired a split level flat in Burntwood, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2001. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Burntwood with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2100

With only 75 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

We are looking to acquire a repression flat in Burntwood and the vendor would like to complete inside 28 days. Do conveyancers complete in this timeframe? Would it be better to select a local Burntwood firm or an online conveyancer that professes to complete quickly?

Visit your Burntwood high street. Go in to a couple of firms and request to see a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Explain your needs and try and obtain a commitment on speed. Appoint the one that appears most genuine. You need to select a conveyancer on the panel of lawyers approved by your lender.
