My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Goffs Oak with a homeloan from Coventry Building Society.We use our Goffs Oak conveyancing lawyer but Coventry Building Society advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society

Me and my partner are buying a flat in Goffs Oak. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to put our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

We previously selected conveyancing lawyers located in Goffs Oak on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Goffs Oak solicitor. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Goffs Oak. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton 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 Goffs Oak conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Goffs Oak?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Goffs Oak. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Goffs Oak I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Goffs Oak in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

My husband and I are one month into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Goffs Oak. I am am very dissatisfied with the level of service. Can you help me find new conveyancers?

They would need to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the replacement lawyer and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating fees and frustration. That should be your starting point.
