At what point will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Hathern and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Hathern you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hathern)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Hathern. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should contact your conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please get in touch with Yorkshire Building Society who may be able to confirm.
I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Hathern. Will the conveyancer arrange an EPC or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was maintained a required component of moving property. An EPC should be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that lawyers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Hathern conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local energy assessors
Is it the case that all Hathern solicitor firms on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Hathern. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £200. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Hathern differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Hathern come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Hathern tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hathern or who has acted in the same development.
