I am looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Selhurst who is on the Clydesdale approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale in certain locations such as Selhurst. We dont recommend any particular firm.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Selhurst. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Selhurst. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £175. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Planning on purchasing a house in Selhurst. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Selhurst lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Selhurst I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Selhurst suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Selhurst. I have chance upon a site which seems to have the perfect solution If it is possible to get all formalities completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
We have AIP from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society who said we could borrow up to £117k. At what point do we need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? Selhurst is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to appoint a lawyer now so that the solicitor can open the file so they can commence the AML checks etc. Once you wish them to start work they will seek a deposit usually about £200. That would generally be after you have the mortgage offer and survey report, nevertheless should you want to expedite the process you can get going quicker albeit risking some expense.
