We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Benson listed on your site but have come across some other costs illustrations via the web look less pricey – how come?
One can find plenty of solicitors advertising supposedly cheap conveyancing, but supplementalcharges result in the final fee being escalated. Conveyancers are obliged to make sure that costs contained in terms of business should be transparent and reasonable raised The conveyancers that we put forward for conveyancing in Benson clearly state all costs for a standard conveyancing matter.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Benson for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders Santander won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders ordinarily restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few lenders have limited the number of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. You should note that Santander have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Santander Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed opinions regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Benson only conduct one or two conveyances per annum.
We are planning to move house in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Benson. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this should only take place when the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Benson or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Benson.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being problematic. The Benson solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Benson conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Benson surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
