I plan on acquiring residence in Broad Haven. My lawyer is not on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to retain my Broad Haven conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender list of approved lawyers?
You will need to have a solicitor to complete the formalities when you require a mortgage to buy your property. They will carry out all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could select a Broad Haven solicitor of your choice. However, where the property lawyer appointed is not on the lender approved list further costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not previously sought membership they should do so.
Last October we completed a house move in Broad Haven. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Broad Haven?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Broad Haven. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Broad Haven.
Are the Broad Haven conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Leeds Building Society?
Broad Haven conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Broad Haven based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the lender to ask if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Broad Haven.
