Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hilton

We are a couple about to sign contracts for a property in Hilton. We have hit a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society expires on 16/5/2025 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 20/5/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan offer?

The person best placed to address this concern is your solicitors who should calculate whether they should be discussing with the bank, seller’s lawyers, estate agents or conceivably all three taking into account the history of your house move to date.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Hilton conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel?

Hilton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.

We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Hilton. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Hilton in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on such a property.

We expect to complete the disposal of our £325,000 garden flat in Hilton next week. The landlords agents has quoted £348 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Hilton?

Hilton conveyancing on leasehold apartments often necessitates the buyer’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
