We had chosen conveyancing lawyers located in Flint Mountain on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Flint Mountain solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Flint Mountain conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Kent Reliance completed the survey? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Flint Mountain. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Clydesdale your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Flint Mountain.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Flint Mountain is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Flint Mountain are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Flint Mountain 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 Flint Mountain may determine 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 premises.
Why do Flint Mountain conveyancing charges are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
If buying a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
