Are the BSA planning on creating a online directory to list firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for instance in Ranmoor?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.
We are due to move home in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Ranmoor. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent but this should only be done once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Ranmoor or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ranmoor.
When it comes to lenders such as Barclays, do Ranmoor lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We expect to receive a DIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Ranmoor solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Ranmoor solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
Will our lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Ranmoor.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Ranmoor. There are those who purchase a property in Ranmoor, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Ranmoor. The standard information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the vendor to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also carry out an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Ranmoor with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it would jeopardize 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.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Ranmoor and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial tenants, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Ranmoor
What makes a Ranmoor lease defective?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Ranmoor. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, Skipton Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.

Best to be warned if fixing the lift or some other major work is anticipated to be shared amongst the leaseholders and will materially impact the level of the maintenance costs or require a one off payment. For most Ranmoor leaseholds the outlay for major works are not wrapped into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Ranmoor ask leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance. Does this lease have in excess of 85 years left?
