I am getting a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Hornsey. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am due to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Hornsey. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Hornsey or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Hornsey.
Can I be sure that the Hornsey conveyancing solicitor on the Lloyds panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hornsey getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
I am expecting a DIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Hornsey solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hornsey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
How does conveyancing in Hornsey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hornsey contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Hornsey usually purchase the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Hornsey or who has acted in the same development.
