Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dunnington

Me and my wife are purchasing a maisonette in Dunnington. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company approved list. Am I still permitted to use my Dunnington conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?

One will need to instruct a conveyancer to deal with the formalities when you need a loan to buy your property. The conveyancer will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could select a Dunnington lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the lender approved list supplemental fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Dunnington and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?

If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Dunnington you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Dunnington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We decided to purchase a 3 bedroom apartment in Dunnington with a loan from Bank of Scotland.We have a Dunnington conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Scotland informed us his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Dunnington 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to look for all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. If copies can’t be found, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.
