AssumingI was to buy a simple residential propertyin Silverdale for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Silverdale?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the Silverdale conveyancing searches. Your solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be significant.
We note that you have a search directory listing firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Silverdale?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Silverdale.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Silverdale. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should call your lawyer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call Coventry Building Society who may be able to confirm.
Is it the case that all Silverdale solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We previously instructed solicitors locally in Silverdale on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further amount for handling the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Silverdale conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Silverdale. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale 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 Silverdale conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Silverdale is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Silverdale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Silverdale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Silverdale may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
