Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Yeovil

I am thinking of refinancing my flat in Yeovil, does my lawyer have to be on the Nottingham Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

We are purchasing a house in Yeovil. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

We are planning to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Yeovil. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this page.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only happen once the sellers lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Yeovil or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Yeovil.

I have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Yeovil. Conveyancing was finalised 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?

Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Yeovil in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks may not give a mortgage on such a home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can investigate further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Yeovil. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Yeovil. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?

It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as normal because all ground rent and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Yeovil Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Queries before buying

    For many Yeovil leaseholds the outlay for major works are not wrapped into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Yeovil obliged tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against major works. If a Yeovil lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the value of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for a couple of years in order to be legally able to extend the lease. The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the lessees enjoy control and although a managing agent is frequently retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders.

I'm buying a house in Yeovil. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?

Not every individual in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
