My lawyer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Harleston conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
How can we know in advance if a Harleston conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Harleston obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Leeds Building Society as we wish to carry out renovations to our property in Harleston. Are we obliged to choose a high street Harleston solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Leeds Building Society would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Harleston I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Harleston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a residence in Neath but reside in Harleston. My lawyer (based 200 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Harleston who can attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Harleston
