At long last a loan offer from NatWest for the refinancing of my 3 room maisonette is expected within the next few days. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Waterhouses?

You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Waterhouses. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations offering ninety nine pound conveyancing in Waterhouses. At best, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not end up with the service you were looking for.

The Waterhouses conveyancing firm handling our Waterhouses conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action legitimate?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am being told by my solicitor that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Waterhouses?

The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

We had appointed solicitors based in Waterhouses on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Skipton but by your Waterhouses solicitor. Some firms on the Skipton panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Co-operative as we want to conduct renovations to our property in Waterhouses. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Waterhouses solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Co-operative do not ordinarily appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
