We previously selected solicitors locally in Dulverton on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Lloyds but by your Dulverton lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I'm in the throws of looking at houses in Dulverton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have my solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Aldermore.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
How does conveyancing in Dulverton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Dulverton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Dulverton tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dulverton or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Dulverton is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Dulverton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dulverton 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 Dulverton may ascertain 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.
