Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Boreham

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Boreham is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?

That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume 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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Boreham conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Boreham? Is this really warranted?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Boreham conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your lawyer cancelling their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your property lawyers will have an obligation to notify the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Boreham so that I can attend their offices if required.

Nowadays approved lawyers for lenders carry out all of the work via Royal Mail, internet or over phone calls. This enables them to carry out the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you should check if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.

I just acquired a house at auction in Boreham. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?

Given that you have now legally committed yourself to purchase you must hire the services of a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.

Can you point me to a directory of Nottingham panel solicitors in Boreham on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings viewable online. Where you are seeking to appoint a Boreham lawyer on the Nottingham please make the most of our tool.

Can I be sure that the Boreham conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Boreham obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Boreham before instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Boreham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Boreham especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Boreham.

Please can you clarify what my options are where my Boreham conveyancing searches reveals detrimental results?

Normally, most concerns revealed in Boreham conveyancing search responses can be handled in advance of completion or title insurance can be obtained. You should remember that regardless of the fact that you intend on buying the property and might be content to accept the search results, your building society or bank may not, and when all said and done they have the word say.
