Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Kingswinford. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Kingswinford. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
When it comes to lenders such as Leeds Building Society, do Kingswinford lawyers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Santander as we want to conduct alterations to our property in Kingswinford. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Kingswinford solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Santander would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander panel.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Kingswinford is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Kingswinford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingswinford may ascertain 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 residence.
I'm refinancing my current home to a BTL loan with Virgin Money and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further house. The location we are looking at is Kingswinford. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the conveyances?
Make use of our search tool on this site to check that the conveyancers are approved by both banks. Having checked that they are your solicitor will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make clear your expectations and requirements.
New build sellers have put forward a solicitor and I've sought a quote from them. They are almost £300 less expensive than my own Kingswinford lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers normally have lists of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and solicitor. As many developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they want exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your high street Kingswinford conveyancer.
