We selected a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Woodbury today. Reviewing the Terms it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if the movedoes not proceed. Should I go with them or instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Woodbury?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that these arrangements generally do not cover expenses for example Woodbury conveyancing search charges.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Woodbury. The Woodbury property was put into my name in July. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Woodbury. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Santander your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Woodbury.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Woodbury. 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 Principality 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 Woodbury solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Woodbury from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Woodbury can be avoided if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Woodbury charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Woodbury. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your conveyancers. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Woodbury state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. A minority of Woodbury leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.
