We are purchasing a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Edenbridge who is on the Aldermore solicitor 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 Aldermore . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Edenbridge.
My wife and I are buying a property in Edenbridge. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
When it comes to lenders such as Santander, do Edenbridge solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Is it the case that all Edenbridge solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
We are downsizing from our property in Edenbridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Edenbridge conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Edenbridge. Having lived in Edenbridge for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Edenbridge for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Edenbridge conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Edenbridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Edenbridge contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Edenbridge usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Edenbridge or who has acted in the same development.
We are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Edenbridge. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would need to be very poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new lawyer and have the loan are re-issued. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental costs and frustration. That should be your starting point.
