My friend's sister is a solicitor. I expect that I can be offered mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Tiptree?
Do compare pricing. Do use our search tool on this page. You will notice that fees may contrast greatly but service levels do differ between solicitors as is true with most professions.
I am due to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Tiptree. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the property agent but this should only occur after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Tiptree or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Tiptree.
I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Tiptree property lawyer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being pedantic. The Tiptree solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of stalling in Tiptree conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Tiptree.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Tiptree is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Tiptree are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tiptree you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tiptree may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary house to a buy to let mortgage with Alliance & Leicester and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further house. The location we are interested in is Tiptree. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and link together the two deals?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are the conveyancer should be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and communicate your desired outcome and needs.
