Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Jarrow

My partner and I are looking to purchase a home in Jarrow and are in fact using a Jarrow conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. TSB have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Jarrow solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Jarrow lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Jarrow. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Jarrow?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

When it comes to lenders such as Santander, do Jarrow conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

How can we tell if a Jarrow conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Jarrow 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.

I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Jarrow for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Jarrow conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Jarrow differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Jarrow come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Jarrow tend to purchase the real estate, 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 Jarrow or who has acted in the same development.

Expecting to sign contracts shortly on a studio apartment in Jarrow. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they are sending me a report next week. What should I be looking out for?

Searching for a conveyancing solicitor in Jarrow. I thought I had one sorted but he's not on the approved list of Bank of Ireland. It seems that these days most lenders only allow conveyancers on their panel. Extremely annoying limiting the choice for the paying public. Can you recommend a cheap Jarrow conveyancing practitioner that would assist us as well as represent Bank of Ireland?

The purpose of this site is restricted to being a directory service for conveyancing practitioners who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland in certain locations for instance Jarrow . We dont recommend any particular conveyancer.
