At long last a loan offer from NatWest for the refinancing of my single room apartment is due by the end of next week. Can you put forward a low cost conveyancing law firm in Norfolk?
You have come to the wrong site to search for the cheapest conveyancing in Norfolk. Our intention is to offer excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint companies seducing you with £99 conveyancing in Norfolk. In your best case scenario, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you invoiced for additional fees and still not end up with the service required.
I am planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Norfolk who is on the Barnsley Building Society solicitor. 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 listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society in certain locations such as Norfolk. We dont recommend any particular firm.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Norfolk 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your property and obtain up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
I'm buying my first flat in Norfolk benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Norfolk I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Norfolk in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
We are in the process of selling our flat in Norfolk. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged a fortune from the freeholder. To date we have paid £295.50 for a leasehold management pack and then another £200 plus VAT for responses to queries raised by the buyers conveyancing practitioner.
Neither you or your conveyancing practitioner will have any say over the extent of the fee for this information but the typical costs for the information for Norfolk leasehold property is £355. For Norfolk conveyancing transactions it is conventional for the vendor to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to address these questions although many will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Regretfully there is no statute that mandates capped charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any statutory time limit by which they are duty bound to issue the information.
