We see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our conveyancing in Edingale?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Edingale.
I am refinancing my apartment in Edingale, does my lawyer have to be on the Santander Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Santander conveyancing panel, but Santander would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Edingale and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Edingale. We have lived in Edingale for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Edingale completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
How does conveyancing in Edingale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Edingale approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Edingale usually purchase the site, 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 Edingale or who has acted in the same development.
We are in the process of acquiring a house in Edingale. Can the solicitor have our purchase price confidential from the likes of Nestoria. How can this be achieved ?
The Land Registry as a matter of law required to reveal price paid information on the official title for residential properties countrywide which includes homes in Edingale. The Title Register is a public document, so the Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not permit access to the register.
You can ask HM Land Registry to hide the amount paid entry but the answer will be a No.
