We expect to receive a AIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Ross On Wye solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Ross On Wye solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Ross On Wye. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Not long after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being problematic. The Ross On Wye solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Ross On Wye concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 asset 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 purchasing a new build house in Ross On Wye with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Coventry Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
My husband and I are 18 days into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to handle our conveyancing in Ross On Wye. I am am very disappointed with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A solicitor would need to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been generated? If so you need to make them aware of the replacement solicitor and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid added charges and complications. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Ross On Wye being more expensive?
Buying a new build property is significantly different from the normal house purchase conveyancing in Ross On Wye. Firstly sellers normally demand contracts to exchange very quickly, so there is a a great deal of pressure on your solicitor to make sure all is in order. In addition new build properties often necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage lender requirements are also more detailed. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
