I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my rented flat in Cheddar by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your tenancy unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they apply pressure on the sellers solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim to achieve
I am looking to buy a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Cheddar who is on the HSBC Bank solicitor. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank in certain locations such as Cheddar. We dont recommend any particular firm.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Cheddar and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Cheddar conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cheddar. Having lived in Cheddar for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I'm refinancing my primary property to a BTL loan with Yorkshire Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on a second house. The neighborhood we are interested in is Cheddar. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two banks and link together the two deals?
Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are the lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make clear your desired outcome and requirements.
Is it best to instruct a Cheddar conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal work however they are based 400kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Cheddar conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Cheddar conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
Are Cheddar conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to issue transparent conveyancing costs?
Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Cheddar or or elsewhere in the country.
