IfI were to buy a simple residential homein Bispham mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bispham?

The only saving you would make on is the Bispham conveyancing searches. A property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be significant.

We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers locally in Bispham on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Bispham solicitor. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

How can we tell if a Bispham conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Bispham obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.

Our sealed bid on a house in Bispham has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Bispham. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with TSB?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Bispham conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the TSB approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with searches.

I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Bispham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bispham conveyancing specialists.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Bispham. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
