My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Tisbury. I need to find out whether they are on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should phone the lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should call National Westminster Bank who may be able to confirm.
I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Tisbury. Will the solicitor arrange an EPC or should I organise this?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates remained a required element of selling a property. An EPC needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that law firms normally arrange. If you are using a Tisbury conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable Tisbury providers
When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Tisbury conveyancing practitioners face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I currently have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Tisbury. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Tisbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How simple is it to use the search tool to find a conveyancing lawyer in Tisbury on the panel for my bank?
First pick a lender such as Santander, Coventry Building Society or TSB then type in your preferred area for example Tisbury. Conveyancing firms in Tisbury and beyond should be identified.
My step-father has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Tisbury. Should I use them?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the solicitor you're considering.
There are numerous properties in Tisbury on unadopted roads. We are buying such a house. Are there any advantages to purchasing a property on a private road?
Tisbury conveyancing lawyers are used to dealing propertieson private. Your solicitor should review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road will likely be maintained and look better than council adopted.
