I am getting a offer of a home loan from Santander. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Dunchurch. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Dunchurch. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in Dunchurch. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Dunchurch conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where properties with day to day issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Dunchurch will be able to give you some sensible advice concerning this.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Dunchurch took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I was recommended by three or four local selling agents in Dunchurch to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Dunchurch
It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Dunchurch conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
