I went with a local firm for our conveyancing in Neston yesterday. Going through the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or instruct an on-line solicitor practice offering no move no charge conveyancing in Neston?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover those conveyances that abort. Also remember that such deals generally do not cover outlay by way of example Neston conveyancing search expenses.
Completed the sale of my flat in Neston last September but my buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours complaining that their solicitor needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
After completion of your house sale your conveyancer should forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your lawyer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Neston.
Is it the case that all Neston solicitor practices on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
We previously chose solicitors with offices in Neston on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Neston property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Neston bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Neston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your solicitor must follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
My uncle has encouraged me to use his conveyancers in Neston. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Neston conveyancing lawyer the best way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're considering.
My partner is buying a shared ownership flat in Neston. He has received a fee estimate by the lawyer connected to the estate agents totaling £1275 . It was seven years ago since I sold and purchased a property and the fee was £500. Have fees really increased to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Neston searches, land registry fees, etc)
