Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Buxton

Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Buxton who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or should I try and find a cheaper online conveyancer?

The charges appear a little high. If you you were to look around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were happy with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldlive to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to ensure that the conveyancer can represent Barclays Direct. You can use our search tool to locate a Buxton conveyancing firm on the Barclays Direct conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Buxton.

IfI were to purchase a straightforward homein Buxton mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Buxton?

The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the disbursement for searches. Your conveyancer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Buxton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Buxton involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from UBS as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Buxton. Are we obliged to select a nearby Buxton solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

UBS would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS conveyancing panel.

My partner and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Buxton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Principality.

You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Principality, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Intending to buy a apartment in Buxton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Buxton property lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Buxton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Buxton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
