Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Whiteley

Would the conveyancing solicitors that are recommend execute auction conveyancing in Whiteley?

We know of a few auction lawyers we can connect you with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Whiteley is just one of our locations where our lawyers have offices.

I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Whiteley. The Whiteley property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

I am buying a property in Whiteley. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Lloyds be concerned?

As your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Whiteley.

I am expecting a DIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Whiteley solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Whiteley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Whiteley I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Whiteley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My company is hoping to take an assignment of a lease of an office on the high street. Can you recommend lawyers offering no-sale-no costs for commercial conveyancing in Whiteley for below 1500k?

My partner has urged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Whiteley. Do I follow his guidance?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Whiteley conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the firm you're considering.

We are seeking to acquire a repossessed flat in Whiteley and the mortgagee in possession require completion inside a month. Do conveyancing practitioners meet that timeframe? Am I best advised to instruct a high street Whiteley firm or an online company that advertises to complete quickly?

Attend your Whiteley high street. Go in to two or three solicitor’s offices and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Explain your requirements and seek a commitment on deadlines. Appoint the firm that comes across as most genuine. Make sure to use a conveyancer on the list of property lawyers who can act for your mortgage company.
