Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Lechlade or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Lechlade.
We previously appointed conveyancers locally in Lechlade on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate amount for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Lechlade lawyer. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

How does conveyancing in Lechlade differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Lechlade approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Lechlade usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lechlade or who has acted in the same development.

Last March I purchased a leasehold house in Lechlade. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
