Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Parkwood Springs

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a local conveyancing solicitor in Parkwood Springs?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company and see if they offer you a cash alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Parkwood Springs.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Bank of Ireland are being difficult. The Parkwood Springs solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Parkwood Springs has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Clydesdale or your financial adviser and finish off any appropriate documentation. Clydesdale will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Parkwood Springs.

My offer on a property in Parkwood Springs has been agreed to, the vendors do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Parkwood Springs. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with HSBC going?

It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Parkwood Springs conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to proceed with searches.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Parkwood Springs is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Parkwood Springs are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Parkwood Springs you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Parkwood Springs may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Parkwood Springs garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Parkwood Springs conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Even though your last Parkwood Springs conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I bought a leasehold flat in Parkwood Springs, conveyancing was carried out in 1999. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Parkwood Springs with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2080

With just 56 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 plus costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Me and my husband are selling a Parkwood Springs apartment we inherited seven years ago in 2012. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, although retired, wish to undertake my own legal work. The buyer's property lawyer has informed me that their building society will not allow us to do our own conveyancing as they require the funds to be released via a solicitor's bank account.

Mortgage requirements to lawyers from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor is not legally represented the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be informed so that a decision can be made if they are willing to progress.
