Me and my partner are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Cross Hands but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but TSB are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on a TSB approved list is obliged to disclose to TSB of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Cross Hands.
We're in Cross Hands, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Bank of Ireland , and our lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am planning to move home in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Cross Hands. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent however this should only happen after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Cross Hands or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Cross Hands.
We previously selected solicitors locally in Cross Hands on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Cross Hands conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
My partner and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Clydesdale as we want to conduct improvements to our property in Cross Hands. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Cross Hands solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Clydesdale would not normally require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Just acquired a detached house in Cross Hands , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Cross Hands conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Cross Hands registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am intending to let out my leasehold flat in Cross Hands. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Cross Hands do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
