We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Oxton on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Oxton solicitor. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being difficult. The Oxton solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

How does conveyancing in Oxton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Oxton come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Oxton typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oxton or who has acted in the same development.

Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on a garden flat in Oxton I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning theconveyancing before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Oxton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Oxton should be the figure that you are charged.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Oxton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

    It would be wise to find out as much as possible about the managing agents as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily issues such as the upkeep of the common parts. Ask prospective neighbours if they are happy with them. Finally, be sure you know the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and precisely what you get for your money. In the main the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Oxton ask leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance.
