I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer rather than a high street Erdington conveyancing lawyer?
Generally conveyancing solicitors in your neck of the woods will have strong alliances with your local authority, which can help with the Erdington conveyancing searches that your solicitor will inevitably need. It can only help if they enjoy strong relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Erdington, other lawyers in the area and Erdington Estate Agents.
Completed the sale of my flat in Erdington last November but my buyer keeps texting daily complaining that his solicitor is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your house sale your lawyer is obliged to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where appropriate, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Erdington.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the UBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Erdington?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. 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.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Erdington took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Erdington before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on a flying freehold property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Erdington. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Erdington to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Erdington I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning theconveyancing in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
