Is the fact that my conveyancer in Deanshanger is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Deanshanger conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Deanshanger?
If you are buying a property in Deanshanger your lawyer will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the total price then this will be needed shortly before contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.
Is it correct that all Deanshanger CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Deanshanger conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to issue the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Kent Reliance completed the valuation? Have you informed Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Intending to buy a house in Deanshanger. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Deanshanger conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Deanshanger I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Deanshanger for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
