Me and my partner are buying a house in Hanslope. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Hanslope what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Hanslope conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
About to purchase house in Hanslope. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland 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 Hanslope lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
My friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Hanslope I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Hanslope conveyancing searches. It is a large document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Hanslope around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Hanslope.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Hanslope completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Hanslope I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hanslope in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. 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 twenty four months you could 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Hanslope and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords protection to commercial tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and assist with commercial conveyancing in Hanslope

It seems that nowadays most building societies only allow solicitors on their panel. Extremely annoying restricting the choice for the paying public.

The purpose of this site is restricted to being a directory service for solicitors who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Skipton in certain areas for example Hanslope . Our intention is not to recommend any specific property lawyer.
