Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Elmswell

I am getting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Elmswell. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

My flat in Elmswell is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my solicitor have to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

How does conveyancing in Elmswell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Elmswell approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Elmswell tend to acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Elmswell or who has acted in the same development.
