Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brynford

We had appointed solicitors based in Brynford on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further charge for the legal aspects of the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Brynford conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

How can we tell if a Brynford conveyancing solicitor on the Virgin Money panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Brynford getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

I have instructed a Brynford lawyer having checked that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Brynford surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

How does conveyancing in Brynford differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Brynford contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Brynford tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Brynford or who has acted in the same development.
