Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blakeney

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Blakeney is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Blakeney conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Blakeney last November but our buyer keeps whats apping every few hours complaining that her lawyer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?

Following your house sale your lawyer is obliged to forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Blakeney.

I am looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Blakeney who is on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society in certain locations such as Blakeney. We dont recommend any particular firm.

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Blakeney completed. 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 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.

How does conveyancing in Blakeney differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Blakeney contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Blakeney tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Blakeney or who has acted in the same development.

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Blakeney I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehouse move prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in Blakeney.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Blakeney should be the figure that you are charged.
