My best friend’s sister is a solicitor. I hope that I'll be able to get friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of costs should I be expecting for conveyancing in Ferndown?
It’s wise to seek multiple conveyancing estimates. Make use of our search tool on this site. Whilst fees will vary but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
The owners have rather brash vendors who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of main drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (also known as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not strongly advocated amongst Ferndown conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is not likely to be issued with injunctive relief to prohibit the vendor completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in rare situations, the additional payment of penalties.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Ferndown. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Ferndown involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Ferndown conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Ferndown off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with RBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Ferndown on 24/7/2024, valuation was booked 2 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Are Kent Reliance entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
