Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ferndale

My wife and I are hoping to acquire a 1 bedroom apartment in Ferndale with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Ferndale lawyer, but the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or retain our Ferndale conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Ferndale conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Last February we completed a house move in Ferndale. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Ferndale?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Ferndale. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a form known as a SPIF. If the information proves to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Ferndale.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Ferndale?

If you are buying a property in Ferndale your lawyer will ask you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is as part of the sale price then this will be needed immediately before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days ahead of the completion date.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Ferndale based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender to ask if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Ferndale.

Do I need to be wary that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Ferndale conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from connections can be very helpful. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend conveyancers to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that some lenders operate an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.
