Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bankside

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Bankside

Two types of professional can perform conveyancing in Bankside namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the sale or acquisition of property. They are both obliged to conduct Bankside conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly conducted and that the requirements and steps will be suitably followed.

I am being advised by my conveyancer that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bankside conveyancing?

The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Virgin Money. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

We previously chose solicitors locally in Bankside on the TSB solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by TSB but by your Bankside conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the TSB panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

What will a local search inform me regarding the property we're purchasing in Bankside?

Bankside conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as PSG The local search is essential in every Bankside conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject headings.

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Bankside took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Bankside to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t make any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am using a search engine for the words on line conveyancing in Bankside it reveals numerous property lawyerslocally. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable solicitor for me?

The preferential method of seeking a suitable conveyancer is via personal testimonial, so enquire of colleagues and relatives who have purchased a property in Bankside or the reputable estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Bankside vary, so it's a good idea to request a minimum of three fee estimates from varying types of companies. Make sure that you know that the fees are fixed.

My solicitors in Bankside have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
