Is there a list of Co-operative panel conveyancers in Speke on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings visible over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Speke lawyer on the Co-operative please use our tool.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Speke conveyancing practitioners have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nationwide done the valuation? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

We are intent on selling our home in Speke and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Speke lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Speke. Having lived in Speke for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I'm buying a new build house in Speke benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Last October I purchased a leasehold house in Speke. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Speke Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    Where a Speke lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. For most Spekelease extensions you would need to own the premises for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Make sure you discover if there are any onerous restrictions in the lease. For example it is fairly common in Speke leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Speke. If you like the apartmentin Speke however your cat can’t move with you then you will be presented with a difficult compromise. For many Speke leaseholds the cost for major works are not included within maintenance charges, although some managing agents in Speke obliged leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance.

We are about to acquiring a flat in Speke. Can the conveyancer keep our transaction price confidential from the likes of Zoopla. what can I do to ensure this is not disclosed?
