My best friend’s brother is a conveyancer. I anticipate that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Milton Keynes Village?

It’s advisable to obtain two or three conveyancing quotes. Make use of our search tool on this site. The fees do be different but service levels do are distinct between law firms as is true with most professions.

is it true that all Milton Keynes Village solicitor firms on the HSBC conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Can I be sure that the Milton Keynes Village conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Milton Keynes Village seeking 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being a right pain. The Milton Keynes Village solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB 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.

I am selling our property in Milton Keynes Village and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Milton Keynes Village. We have lived in Milton Keynes Village for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I am purchasing a new build house in Milton Keynes Village with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Milton Keynes Village is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Milton Keynes Village are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Milton Keynes Village 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 Milton Keynes Village 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 residence.
