Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Winterbourne

My partner and I are purchasing a newly built apartment in Winterbourne and my conveyancer is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I don't want to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Winterbourne. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Winterbourne. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Winterbourne solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Winterbourne is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Winterbourne , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Winterbourne conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Winterbourne registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Winterbourne I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Winterbourne for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on a property in Winterbourne I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning thehome move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be carrying out your conveyancing in Winterbourne.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a matter number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Winterbourne should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

Am I best advised to choose a Winterbourne conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can perform the conveyancing however his firm is located 200miles drive away.

The benefit of a high street Winterbourne conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Winterbourne know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should trump using an unknown Winterbourne conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
