My mortgage broker has asked me for my Dudley law firm’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Dudley branch but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried contacting your Dudley conveyancing practitioner about this?. They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Dudley who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Dudley.
I am aiming to move property in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Dudley. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent however this should only occur after the sellers lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Dudley or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Dudley.
Is it the case that all Dudley CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Barclays conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Dudley. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Dudley is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Dudley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dudley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dudley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Is it best to instruct a Dudley conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can carry out the legal work however they are based 300miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Dudley conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Dudley know how is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must surpass using an unknown Dudley conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
Our mortgage broker has recommended their conveyancer for my conveyancing in Dudley - Is it not simpler better to just instruct them?
It is not always the case and you are entitled to opt for whichever property lawyer you prefer for your Dudley conveyancing. The conveyancing practitioner recommended by an estate agent may not necessarily be the right lawyer, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
