I am about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Bushey but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Leeds Building Society will not permit this. Why were they approached?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Leeds Building Society of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Bushey.
My Solicitor in Bushey is not on the Britannia Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Britannia panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Bushey solicitors but Britannia will need to retain a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges and result in delays.
- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are on the Britannia panel
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Bushey but how do I know who's good?
Do not opt for the cheapest Bushey conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Bushey. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Now that you are exchanged you will need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the legal papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to the solicitor instructed by you ASAP. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Bushey property lawyer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
