Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Earley

AssumingI was to purchase a straightforward housein Earley for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Earley?

Any savings you would achieve will be isolated to the Earley conveyancing searches. A solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers solicitor, SDLT return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage however it will not be significant.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Earley for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Yorkshire Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

A bank may insist on a panel conveyancer act for it. You would be liable to bear the charges for this. Try using our directory service to locate a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Earley on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list of solicitors.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Earley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Earley.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Lloyds are being pedantic. The Earley solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Lloyds are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

About to purchase house in Earley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Earley conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Earley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Earley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Being a leasehold owner I am liable for a service charge for my ground floor flat in Earley. As a result of personal circumstances I fell behind with payments. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there is still around £2000 left to be paid.

I now wish to sell and I am worried this can hold me back if I have to discharge the arrears first. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?

You should speak with the conveyancing practitioner handling your Earley conveyancing but it might be possible to agree for the arrears to be passed to the buyers. The contractual price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then deal with the outstanding monies post completion of the purchase.
