Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Lynton is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Lynton conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Lynton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Lynton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Lynton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lynton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lynton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Lynton to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a residence in Cardiff but reside in Lynton. My lawyer (based 300 miles from merequires that I execute a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Lynton who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Lynton based
