Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Earley

Me and my partner are purchasing our first house. The conveyancer has contact usto check if we wish to order extra conveyancing searches. As novices we are clueless as to what's appropriate for conveyancing in Earley

The extent of Earley conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information the searches could supply. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be unsure, ask your conveyancing practitioner to explain.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the RBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Earley?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Earley

There are two types of lawyers who can do conveyancing in Earley namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals provide the legal services that required to complete the disposal or purchase of property. Both are required to handle Earley conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally carried out and that the necessary procedures should be accurately attended to.

Can you help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Earley?

The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Earley building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Earley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your conveyancer must comply with the CML Handbook section two conditions for your lender. 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

My colleague advised me that if I am buying in Earley I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Earley conveyancing searches. It is a large document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out important information about Earley around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Earley Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Earley Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Earley.

I am downsizing from my home. My past conveyancers have shut. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Earley if that makes a difference.

New build sellers have put forward a property lawyer and I've obtained a quote from them. They are almost two hundred pounds less expensive than my preferred Earley conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?

Housebuilders frequently have panels of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s documentation and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an inducement to select their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they require an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not opting for the recommended property lawyer is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your local Earley solicitor.
