Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lakenheath

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Lakenheath is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?

That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should contact the Lakenheath conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I am planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Lakenheath who is on the Bank of Ireland approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland in certain locations such as Lakenheath. We dont recommend any particular firm.

I require expedited conveyancing in Lakenheath as I am under a deadline to sign on the dotted line in less than one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are not taking a home loan you are at free not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Lakenheath the following are instances of what can arise and therefore impact future mortgageability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Lakenheath before appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can investigate further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Lakenheath. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Lakenheath to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

What does commercial conveyancing in Lakenheath cover?

Lakenheath conveyancing for business premises covers a wide array of services, supplied by qualified solicitors, relating to business property. By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
