Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dockland Settlement

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Principality Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Dockland Settlement?

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 for a fee.

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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Dockland Settlement building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Dockland Settlement conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

The solicitor must follow the CML Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

TSB have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Dockland Settlement has been accepted, now what?

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. TSB will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Dockland Settlement.

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Dockland Settlement. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property.
