Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Goring

I am acquiring a house mortgage free in Goring. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Goring. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Goring conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it may be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with functional issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Goring should provide you some constructive advice concerning this.

We are purchasing a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Goring who is on the Kent Reliance approved panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Goring.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Goring. The Goring property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this obligation is primarily there to capture subsales or the flipping of property.

Is it the case that all Goring conveyancing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be overseen by the CLC.

I have paid off my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Goring conveyancer on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Coventry BS mortgage has been paid off.

I used Action Conveyancing several years ago for my conveyancing in Goring. I now require my file but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Do contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Goring of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously retained, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

Do I need to be concerned about third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Goring conveyancing firm?

As with many service providers, often input from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that many lenders operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.

Should I use a Goring conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can deal with the legal work but they are based over three hundred miles away.

The benefit of a local Goring conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Goring know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should outweigh using an unknown Goring conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
