I am considering remortgaging my property in Machen, does my lawyer have to be on the Aldermore Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, but Aldermore would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
We are planning to move home in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Machen. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this should only happen after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Machen or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Machen.
is it true that all Machen conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I are spending time looking at apartments in Machen and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have my conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Lloyds.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Machen ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Machen. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Machen especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Machen.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Machen conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Machen conveyancing firm) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you make enquires with several firms including non Machen conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
What are the charges for lease extension work? How many lease extensions have they completed in Machen in the last 12 months?
I inherited a garden flat in Machen, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Machen with an extended lease are worth £207,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2082
You have 57 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I have instructed a Machen conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have spotted in the terms and conditions that they are not covered by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that usually the case with conveyancing practitioner?
We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the SRA, who have strict obligations regulating monies sitting on client account.
