I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Burnopfield. What can I do to expedite matters?
First, If you are under time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local connections and know-how. It is possible that they would have conducted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Burnopfield conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is said that 18% of Burnopfield conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by almost three weeks. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Many Burnopfield conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.
My fiance and I are purchasing a purpose built flat in Burnopfield with a loan from Britannia.We use our Burnopfield conveyancing lawyer but Britannia says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Britannia panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Britannia panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Britannia use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Britannia approved list. in the past, 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Burnopfield , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Burnopfield conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Burnopfield registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
