My IFA has requested my Laleham lawyer’ panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Laleham office but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Laleham conveyancing practitioner . Most Laleham conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
My wife and I are due to complete on the purchase of a house in Laleham but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Aldermore will not agree to this. Why were they informed?
Your lawyer that is on the Aldermore approved list is required to inform Aldermore of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Laleham.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Laleham with a loan from Britannia.We have a Laleham conveyancing practitioner but Britannia says her practice is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Britannia panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Britannia panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Britannia use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Britannia conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Laleham 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Laleham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Laleham
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
A licensed conveyancer acted on my conveyancing in Laleham 8 years past and was holding my deeds but has now closed – how do I get hold of these?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as most properties in Laleham are registered electronically at Land Registry. If you need to show evidence of proprietorship or are disposing of or re-mortgaging your lawyer will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
If you feel there may be other documents or you have any other queries please e-mail your request with details of the transaction and documents you need to filerequest@clc-uk.org. The CLC will let you know what information they have and any additional information they may need before they are in a position to identify and send the documents to you. Following an intervention it may take some time for the CLC to access archived files and documents, but your request will be actioned with reasonable haste.
