I'm in the process of changing my domestic home loan to a BTL Aldermore mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I need a conveyancer as part of the process. I spoke to the same Osidge conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I initially bought the house. The quote supplied of £450 plus VAT has surprised me as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees are a tad high. Where you are content to invest time comparing quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £125. That being said, assuming were content with the service the firm gave you mightlive to rue opting for an an unknown solicitor. Don't forget to ensure the firm can also act for Aldermore. Do utilise our search tool to get a quote a Osidge conveyancing firm on the Aldermore member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Osidge.
I am assisting my niece sell her house in Osidge. Will the solicitor order the EPC or do I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was kept a mandatory part of selling a property. An EPC needs to be commissioned before the property is put on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Osidge conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Osidge accredited person
We were going to get a OIP from HSBC 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 HSBC recommend any Osidge solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Osidge solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Osidge conveyancer on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
How does conveyancing in Osidge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Osidge come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Osidge tend to purchase the site, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Osidge or who has acted in the same development.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a house in Swansea but reside in Osidge. My solicitor (who is 235 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Osidge who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Osidge based
