It may have been a long time coming a mortgage offer from HSBC for the refinancing of my 2 room maisonette is to be issued any day now. Could you propose a cheap conveyancing law firm in Woodcote Green?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Woodcote Green. Our aim is to provide cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Woodcote Green. In your best case scenario, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up being stung for extras and still not end up with the service expected.
Can you help - my lawyer says that absentee landlord insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Woodcote Green?
The appropriate level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Woodcote Green. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Your original mortgage agreement with Virgin Money will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being a right pain. The Woodcote Green solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Woodcote Green 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know precisely where to find all the relevant documentation so you can purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be located, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your property.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Woodcote Green is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Woodcote Green are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Woodcote Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woodcote Green may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I'm selling a apartment in Woodcote Green. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
