When will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Langstone and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Langstone you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Langstone)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Langstone. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list of lawyers. Can you help?
The first thing to do is phone your lawyer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise please get in touch with Lloyds TSB Bank who may be able to confirm.
My stepmother informed me that in purchasing a property in Langstone there could be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Langstone which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Langstone should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
Is it correct that all Langstone CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Santander conveyancing list of approved firms?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Langstone bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Langstone conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Have completed on a a detached house in Langstone , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Langstone conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Langstone is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
