Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Broughton Astley

My wife and I are looking to buy a home in Broughton Astley and have appointed a Broughton Astley conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Chelsea Building Society have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Broughton Astley solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

If you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Broughton Astley lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

I have todaybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Broughton Astley for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Broughton Astley differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Broughton Astley come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Broughton Astley 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Broughton Astley or who has acted in the same development.
