We are looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Whyteleafe who is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for TSB . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Whyteleafe.
I am planning to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Whyteleafe. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only take place when the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Whyteleafe or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Whyteleafe.
We had instructed conveyancers locally in Whyteleafe on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Whyteleafe solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Whyteleafe. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is TSB your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Whyteleafe.
I am buying a new build house in Whyteleafe with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
What does commercial conveyancing in Whyteleafe cover?
Non domestic conveyancing in Whyteleafe incorporates a broad range of advice, offered by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. For instance, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.
I'm selling a apartment in Whyteleafe. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
