My financial adviser has requested my Hornsey Rise solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Hornsey Rise branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Hornsey Rise property lawyer . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Hornsey Rise. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Virgin Money approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
You should phone your solicitor and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should get in touch with Virgin Money who may be able to help.
I am planning on selling our house in Hornsey Rise and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hornsey Rise. We have lived in Hornsey Rise for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Hornsey Rise differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Hornsey Rise approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Hornsey Rise usually acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Hornsey Rise or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Hornsey Rise in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a loan on this type of home.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hornsey Rise. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hornsey Rise to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
I am searching for Hornsey Rise competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be sure that all the Hornsey Rise firms that are identified on your directory are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The law firms on our directory have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Hornsey Rise conveyancing solicitor being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is not accurate.
