We're in England Springs, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are planning to move house in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in England Springs. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this can only occur once the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in England Springs or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in England Springs.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. England Springs conveyancing solicitors have been selected. How long does it take for Santander to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander conducted the valuation? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have instructed a England Springs conveyancer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your England Springs postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in England Springs.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in England Springs took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in England Springs before instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in England Springs. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in England Springs to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
