My best friend’s sister is a property lawyer. I am hopeful that I'll be able to get mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in South Brent?
Do compare pricing. Make use of our search tool on this page. You will notice that charges may contrast greatly but the service one can expect differ between solicitors as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in South Brent. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in South Brent?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We expect to receive a AIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any South Brent solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint South Brent solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
About to purchase apartment in South Brent. 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 Leeds Building Society 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 South Brent lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in South Brent took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in South Brent I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in South Brent for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
