My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Kettering. I need to find out if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you assist?
You should call your conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise you can call Clydesdale who may be able to help.
Can I be sure that the Kettering conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Kettering seeking recommendations is a good 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 advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Kettering conveyancing lawyers were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Lloyds conducted the survey? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Kettering bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Kettering conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Kettering as I have pressure to exchange contracts in less than 2 weeks. A home loan is not required. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?
If.Given you are not getting a home loan you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no law firm would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Kettering the following are instances of issues that can crop up and adversely impact future saleability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Fees, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
I used Wolstenholmes several years ago for my conveyancing in Kettering. I now require my file however the law firm has closed. What do I do?
Do call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Kettering of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously instructed, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Kettering is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kettering are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kettering you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kettering may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
