We are planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Moston who is on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Moston.
We're in Moston, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Bank of Ireland , and our lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am purchasing a new build house in Moston with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Moston before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Moston. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Moston to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
Am I better off to appoint a Moston conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal formalities however they are based approximately 350miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Moston conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were content that must surpass using an unknown Moston conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
