If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Shirenewton what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Shirenewton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Shirenewton conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for HSBC to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC done the survey? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Shirenewton 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 Shirenewton 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.
How does conveyancing in Shirenewton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Shirenewton come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Shirenewton tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Shirenewton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a few estate agents in Shirenewton to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am about to exchange on the purchase a property in Shirenewton but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the vendor of five thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my mortgage company will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Any lawyer listed on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise the lender of any variations to the sale figure. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to your mortgage company then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the lender.
