It has come to my attention via my mortgage adviser that my Bedford Hill the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I check?
Your first step should be to call your Bedford Hill lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Bedford Hill conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Bedford Hill who is on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Bedford Hill.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Bedford Hill concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bedford Hill before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold home.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bedford Hill. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Bedford Hill. I happened to chance upon a web site which appears to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals completed via email that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Our financial adviser has suggested using their solicitor for my conveyancing in Bedford Hill - won’t it be easier to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to opt for whichever lawyer you decide for your Bedford Hill conveyancing. The conveyancing practitioner recommended by an estate agent may not always be the best property lawyer, they may put forward their preferred conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
