I instructed a local firm for our conveyancing in Kidderminster today. Going through the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for costs even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or select a web based lawyer offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Kidderminster?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the cases that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that such offerings rarely protect you from expenses for example Kidderminster conveyancing search costs.
We're in Kidderminster, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Kidderminster. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Kidderminster. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A couple of days later, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kidderminster is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Kidderminster?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Kidderminster. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm remortgaging my existing home to a BTL loan with The Mortgage Works and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further house. The location we are looking at is Kidderminster. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two banks and link together the two deals?
Do use our search tool on this site to be sure that the conveyancers are approved by both banks. Assuming that they are the solicitor should be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should have a chat with you lawyer and specify your expectations and requirements.
