Are the Collier Row conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Principality conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Principality?
Collier Row conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Principality directly.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Collier Row. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Collier Row?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Collier Row. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this provision is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Collier Row on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional charge for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Collier Row conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
How does conveyancing in Collier Row differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Collier Row contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Collier Row usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Collier Row or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Collier Row I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Collier Row suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
