IfI were to acquire a simple residential homein Poplar mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Poplar?
Any savings you would achieve will be limited to the costs for searches. Your lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it won't be meaningful.
When it comes to lenders such as Leeds Building Society, do Poplar lawyers face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Can you point me to a directory of Clydesdale panel conveyancers in Poplar on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings visible online. If you are in need of a Poplar property lawyer on the Clydesdale please use our facility.
I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Poplar solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society 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 Poplar 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.
I need some quick conveyancing in Poplar as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts inside one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no solicitor would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Poplar the following are examples of what can show up and adversely affect the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Poplar I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Poplar suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
