Having been referred to your company we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Grappenhall listed on your site but stumbled across some other costs illustrations via the web seem cheaper – how come?

There are numerous solicitors promoting supposedly cheap conveyancing, but additionalcosts result in the closing bill markedly uplifted. Conveyancers are obliged to make sure that charges contained in terms and conditions should be honest and reasonable raised The solicitors that we list for conveyancing in Grappenhall specify all legal fees for a domestic conveyancing case.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Grappenhall and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Grappenhall conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Grappenhall. We have lived in Grappenhall for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I am buying my first flat in Grappenhall with a loan from HSBC Bank. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with HSBC Bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Grappenhall ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on such a home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Grappenhall. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Grappenhall to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

My father has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Grappenhall. Should I find my own solicitor?

No doubt the ideal way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
