Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Highcliffe conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel?
Highcliffe conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are a common cause of hinderance in Highcliffe conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Highcliffe.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Highcliffe took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
What does commercial conveyancing in Highcliffe cover?
Highcliffe conveyancing for business premises incorporates a wide range of advice, provided by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of tenancies.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use their chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Highcliffe
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Highcliffe conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
A licensed conveyancer handled my conveyancing in Highcliffe four years ago having stored my deeds but has now closed – What can I do to get hold of these?
Title deeds, as such, no longer exist as most properties in Highcliffe are recorded digitally at Land Registry. If you need to show evidence of proprietorship or are disposing of or re-mortgaging your property lawyer will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
