Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Great Coates

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Great Coates. Almost all the properties are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Great Coates?

You are putting yourself at risk in not carrying out Great Coates conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that your conveyancer conducts them. Where speed and expenses are top of your issues you should consider with your lawyer about the possibility of search insurance

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Great Coates? Is this really warranted?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to supply ID verification documents, your lawyer would not be able to act for you.

My husband and I wish to acquire a 1 bedroom apartment in Great Coates with a homeloan from Skipton Building Society.We use our Great Coates conveyancing practitioner but Skipton Building Society says her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Skipton Building Society approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society
