I am expecting a mortgage with Nat West. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Guiseley. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
When can the exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Guiseley and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Guiseley you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Guiseley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to list firms on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Guiseley?
We have not been informed any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
I am downsizing from our house in Guiseley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Guiseley. We have lived in Guiseley for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Guiseley in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Guiseley. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Guiseley to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Guiseley. I happened to chance upon a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
