I have just been advised by my broker that my Blackfen lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Blackfen lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Blackfen conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
We are buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen who is on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
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 Blackfen.
We are intent on selling our home in Blackfen and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Blackfen lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen. We have lived in Blackfen for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Blackfen for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Blackfen conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Blackfen I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Blackfen in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Blackfen
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Blackfen conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
