Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Broadclyst

My husband and I are intent on buying a ground floor flat in Broadclyst. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to use my Broadclyst conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel?

One must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required when you take out a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You can instruct a Broadclyst lawyer of your choosing. However, where the solicitor selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list supplemental charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so if your lawyer has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Broadclyst to complete within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?

In the event that the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and intelligence. It is possible that they could have handled previoushouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Broadclyst conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that nearly one in five of Broadclyst conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being held up by an average of 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Broadclyst conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

My husband and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in Broadclyst with a loan from HSBC Bank.We like our Broadclyst conveyancing solicitor but HSBC Bank advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a HSBC Bank panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a HSBC Bank panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the HSBC Bank conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank

My partner and I are intent on selling our house in Broadclyst and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Broadclyst lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Broadclyst. We have lived in Broadclyst for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with 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 sickness)

How does conveyancing in Broadclyst differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Broadclyst contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Broadclyst usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Broadclyst or who has acted in the same development.
