Recently asked questions about conveyancing in North Shields and Tynemouth

Me and my partner are buying an apartment in North Shields and Tynemouth. My property lawyer is not on the mortgage company solicitor list. Am I still permitted to continue with my North Shields and Tynemouth conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel?

You will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your property.

There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in North Shields and Tynemouth but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in North Shields and Tynemouth

It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest North Shields and Tynemouth conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in North Shields and Tynemouth. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?

You must advise Principality in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel lawyer.

Principality have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in North Shields and Tynemouth has been accepted, now what?

The estate agent will need to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Principality or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Principality will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Principality will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in North Shields and Tynemouth.

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in North Shields and Tynemouth concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in North Shields and Tynemouth. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in North Shields and Tynemouth

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Builders have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. They are almost £400 cheaper than my local North Shields and Tynemouth lawyer. What's the catch?

Housebuilders normally have lists of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the builder's documentation and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they demand an exchange within a tight time frame. The argument for not opting for the recommended lawyer is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your local North Shields and Tynemouth lawyer.
