Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Catshill

We decided to go with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Catshill last week. After carefully reading the small print I noteI am liable for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select an on-line lawyer advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Catshill?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that such schemes rarely protect you from disbursements such as Catshill conveyancing search costs.

My conveyancer has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Catshill. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?

Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender conditions must be adhered to.

Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Catshill so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.

Nowadays conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders carry out the vast majority of work through the post, internet or over phone calls. This enables them to carry out the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in England or Wales. Nevertheless you should check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Catshill ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Catshill. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
