Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Welling

I decided to go with a Welling based solicitor for my conveyancing in Welling last week. Looking through the Terms I seeI am responsible for costs even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I go with them or use an internet conveyancing brokerage advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Welling?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset those transactions that abort. Dont forget that such offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Welling conveyancing search fees.

Is there a list of Lloyds panel solicitors in Welling on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings available on the web. Where you are seeking to appoint a Welling conveyancer on the Lloyds please use our tool.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Welling. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Welling agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Welling. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Welling conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Welling.

A relative suggested that where I am buying in Welling I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

This is a search is occasionally included in the estimate for your Welling conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Welling around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Welling Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Welling.

I'm buying my first flat in Welling with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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

I've found a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have since found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Welling. Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Welling are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Welling in which case you should be shopping around for a Welling conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer should appraise you on the various issues.

Following years of correspondence we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Welling. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to decide the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Welling property is 103a Footscray Road in January 2014. The tribunal determines that the premium payable for the extended lease should be £34,500 according to the expert witness valuation calculation This case affected 1 flat.

I have instructed a Welling conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have noticed in the terms and conditions that they are not covered by the FCA. Need I be concerned or is that standard with property lawyer?

We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate specific obligations covering amounts held on client account.
