Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aldeburgh

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Aldeburgh is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Aldeburgh conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Aldeburgh what is the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Aldeburgh

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Aldeburgh and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion a lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Aldeburgh should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You should always trust your conveyancer ahead of the other players in the home moving process.

The first thing you should do is e-mail the conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you can get in touch with HSBC Bank who may be able to assist.

How does conveyancing in Aldeburgh differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Aldeburgh contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Aldeburgh tend to purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Aldeburgh or who has acted in the same development.
