What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Milton
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Milton conveyancing fees. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Milton on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional sum for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Skipton but by your Milton property lawyer. Some firms on the Skipton panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Milton bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Milton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have justbecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Milton for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Milton conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Milton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Milton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can 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 consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
