A loan agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my 2 room maisonette is coming by the end of next week. Are you able to suggest a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Liss?

This site is not designed to assist those in pursuit of the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Liss. Our goal is to offer excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies offering the bait of £99 conveyancing in Liss. The optimum outcome, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in extras and still not end up with the service expected.

I am buying a victorian detached house in Liss. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these alterations are allowed?

Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Liss can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some works require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

Does a directory service exist listing HSBC panel solicitors in Liss on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available online. If you are in need of a Liss conveyancer on the HSBC please make the most of our facility.

We had selected solicitors locally in Liss on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental sum for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Liss conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Liss completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I'm buying a new build house in Liss with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial offices in Liss and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial lessees, granting the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
