Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lamorbey

I am due to complete buying a property in Lamorbey but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Virgin Money will not permit this. Should they have been notified?

Any property lawyer being on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Virgin Money of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Lamorbey.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Lamorbey?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I just bought a property at auction in Lamorbey. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?

Given that you are now legally committed yourself to purchase you now have to find a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer requires. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I am aiming to move house in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Lamorbey. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your website.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only occur after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Lamorbey or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Lamorbey.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Lloyds are being pedantic. The Lamorbey solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Lamorbey took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the bank conveyancing panel solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Lamorbey so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.

Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Lamorbey.
