What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Upper Tean

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Upper Tean conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We had appointed solicitors with offices in Upper Tean on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by UBS but by your Upper Tean lawyer. Some firms on the UBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Upper Tean?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Upper Tean.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Upper Tean with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Upper Tean

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Upper Tean conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.

My fiance and I are planning to purchase a four room flatin Upper Tean with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Upper Tean yet our lender says she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Upper Tean conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Upper Tean : 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 your bank.
