We had appointed conveyancers locally in Ripley on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further fee for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Skipton but by your Ripley conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Skipton panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Ripley conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore conducted the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Should our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Ripley.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Ripley. Some people will purchase a house in Ripley, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Ripley. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s lawyers may also conduct an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
