Are you able to suggest a Alliance & Leicester accepted Midhurst conveyancing firm who can have us moved in within a short deadline? Would it be better to use a local Midhurst practice or a web based conveyancer?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Midhurst conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the main road in Midhurst. Approach a couple of firms and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a fee estimate. Explain your deadline together with the reasons and ask for a commitment on your deadline. Select the lawyer that you are most comfortable with.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Midhurst is more expensive?
Midhurst leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
I am looking to buy a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Midhurst who is on the Leeds Building Society approved. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society in certain locations such as Midhurst. We dont recommend any particular firm.
When it comes to lenders such as Clydesdale, do Midhurst property lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Midhurst conveyancing lawyers were selected. How long does it take for TSB to send the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB conducted the survey? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Midhurst conveyancer having made sure that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Midhurst surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Midhurst and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Midhurst. Having lived in Midhurst for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
