We were about to choose a conveyancing solicitor in Lees and Moorside recommended on your site but stumbled across some other costs illustrations on the internet seem cheaper – why is this?
One can find plenty of solicitors marketing what appear to be cut price. We would urge you to give due consideration as to how much you respect your own move to want to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the standard of the legal work. Some hide extras deep into the terms and conditions. The law firms that we put forward for conveyancing in Lees and Moorside neverdo this.
My wife and I are buying a house in Lees and Moorside. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to deposit money 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.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Lees and Moorside conveyancing lawyers are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nottingham?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham conducted the valuation? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Kent Reliance are being problematic. The Lees and Moorside solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Lees and Moorside 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
You no longer need to hold title deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I am buying a new build house in Lees and Moorside with a loan from Barclays . The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Lees and Moorside is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Lees and Moorside are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lees and Moorside you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Lees and Moorside may decide 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 property.
