Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Woodside

Are you able to vouch for a HSBC Bank allowed Woodside conveyancing practice that can complete within under 3 weeks? Would it be better to use a high street Woodside conveyancer or an online firm?

We would be happy to suggest some excellent Woodside conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the main road in Woodside. Approach a couple of law practices and request to see a conveyancing solicitor for a fee estimate. Discuss your requirements together with your reasons and get an assurance on your deadline. Appoint the one that genuine.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Woodside conveyancing lawyers were appointed. How long does it take for RBS to issue the offer to the solicitor?

There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS conducted the survey? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Woodside. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide 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?

Virgin Money must be informed of your intention 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. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel firm.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Woodside agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Woodside. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Woodside conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Woodside.

I am buying a new build house in Woodside with a mortgage from TSB. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

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 am 18 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Woodside. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

They would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental fees and complications. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Woodside garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Woodside conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Woodside do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I inherited a ground floor flat in Woodside. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for a lease extension?

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Woodside conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Woodside residence is Ground Floor Flat 14 Lodge Road in October 2013. the tribunal held that the price payable for the acquisition of the extended lease of the property should be £12,590 .00 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 69.46 years.

I am buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Woodside who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a Woodside conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for the bank who conduct conveyancing in Woodside. We dont recommend any particular solicitor.
