Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Eaglescliffe

How can we tell if a Eaglescliffe conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Eaglescliffe getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.

We were going to get a OIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Eaglescliffe solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Eaglescliffe solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

Our offer on a semi in Eaglescliffe has been agreed to, the sellers do however have an associated purchase. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Eaglescliffe. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Eaglescliffe conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Coventry BS approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Eaglescliffe.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Eaglescliffe with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Eaglescliffe is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Eaglescliffe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Eaglescliffe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Eaglescliffe may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Eaglescliffe. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Eaglescliffe - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I invested in buying a garden flat in Eaglescliffe, conveyancing having been completed April 2002. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Eaglescliffe with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2089

You have 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £14,300 and £16,400 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
