What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Boscombe?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Boscombe and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Boscombe is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
My house in Boscombe is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor need to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
