Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ferryside

I am considering applying for a TSB mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Ferryside with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for TSB ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but TSB will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Ferryside what would it be?

Do not opt for the cheapest Ferryside conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

Is it correct that all Ferryside CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?

It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Ferryside solicitor having made sure that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC 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 Ferryside 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.

I am buying a new build apartment in Ferryside. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ferryside

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a house in Newport but I am based in Ferryside. My conveyancer (who is 260 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Ferryside to witness this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Ferryside based

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Ferryside accepted, the vendor does nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ferryside. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Santander?

It is standard to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Ferryside conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Santander and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.
