Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Carterton

Can your site be used to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Carterton even if I’m not buying or selling a house, for example where I intend to acquire an office in Carterton with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd?

Our search tool is mainly there to get a quote from domestic conveyancing solicitors in Carterton but we have listed towards the bottom of this page a selection of Carterton commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to speak with the company directly to see if they are also authorised to represent Platform Home Loans Ltd

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Principality Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Carterton?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Carterton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Taking into account that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Carterton I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myhome move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Carterton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a case reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for your conveyancing in Carterton should be the figure that you are charged.

I am looking for a conveyancing lawyer in Carterton for my house move. Is there any facility to review a solicitor's complaints history with the legal regulator?

Members of the public may review presented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) determinations arising from investigations from 2008 onwards. Go to Check a solicitor's record. For records Pre 2008, or to check a solicitors record, telephone 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am. For non-uk callers, call +44 (0)121 329 6800. The SRA sometimes recorded call for training reasons.

I am in the process of buying my 1st house in Carterton. Conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed twenty two years ago.

You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any signs of problems get a full structural survey.
