I am buying a newly constructed duplex in Maghull and my solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I don't want to delay matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Maghull last September but my buyer keeps whats apping daily to say his lawyer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
After completion of your sale your solicitor should forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Maghull.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a newly converted flat in Maghull with a homeloan from The Mortgage Works.We like our Maghull conveyancing lawyer but The Mortgage Works informed us his firm is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a The Mortgage Works panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that The Mortgage Works use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
We are aiming to move property in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Maghull. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this should only be done when the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Maghull or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Maghull.
How can we tell if a Maghull conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Maghull getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Maghull conveyancing solicitors were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds conducted the survey? Have you informed Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I purchased my flat on 2 July and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Maghull expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Maghull uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Maghull registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
