As someone unfamiliar with the Baildon conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Baildon

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Baildon or throughout West Yorkshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Baildon is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Having for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to find a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a tight a drop dead date to complete the property. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are organised to complete on the on the contractual date .

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Baildon conveyancing lawyers were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?

There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB conducted the valuation? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

My partner and I are spending time viewing flats in Baildon and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer appointed at this point? I will be getting a home loan with Principality.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Baildon , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Baildon conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Baildon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so registration formalities is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm remortgaging my current house to a buy to let loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on a second property. The location we are talking about is Baildon. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and tie in the transactions?

Make use of our comparison tool on this site to check that the solicitors are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are the solicitor should be able to connect the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and make clear your expectations and requirements.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Baildon

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Baildon conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
