We are buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Aston who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Coventry BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Aston.
My Solicitor in Aston has never been on on the Britannia Conveyancing Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Britannia approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Aston solicitors but Britannia will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal charges and result in delays.
- Find an alternative practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Britannia approved.
- Persuade your Britannia solicitor to attempt to join the Britannia panel
I am aiming to move house in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Aston. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent however this can only occur once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Aston or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Aston.
Is it the case that all Aston solicitor practices on the HSBC conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
We were going to get a OIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Aston solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Aston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Aston. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Aston
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Should I be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Aston conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all suggest solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most banks specify a panel list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my aunt I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but I am based in Aston. My solicitor (based 250 miles awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Aston who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Aston based
