Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Fishguard. What is the rationale as to why all Fishguard conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in banks and building societies culling less reputable firms off their official list of approved lawyers .
My son is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Fishguard with a home loan from Co-operative. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Completed the sale of my flat in Fishguard last April yet the purchaser is Skype messaging every few hours complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your lawyer should send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where relevant, your solicitor must also evidence that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Fishguard.
We're in Fishguard, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our solicitor 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 property 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.
