Finally the sale completed on my house in Isle Of Wight last November but my buyer keeps Skype messaging me complaining that her conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
After completion of your house sale your conveyancer should send the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Isle Of Wight.
Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to list firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for example in Isle Of Wight?
We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.
When it comes to lenders such as Co-operative, do Isle Of Wight conveyancing practitioners face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
is it true that all Isle Of Wight solicitor firms on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.
We expect to receive a DIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Isle Of Wight solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Isle Of Wight solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Isle Of Wight conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Isle Of Wight.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Isle Of Wight.

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?
Me and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will incur an additional fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
Ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to identify a lawyer in Isle Of Wight on the panel for Nationwide.
