I went with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Marshfield last week. Looking through the terms of engagement I seeI am on the hook for fees even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and choose a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Marshfield?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset those transactions that abort. Dont forget that such promotions generally do not cover outlay such your Marshfield conveyancing search charges.
The Marshfield conveyancing firm handling our Marshfield conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action correct?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
When reviewing mumsnet.com for a conveyancing solicitor in Marshfield, most post that I should instruct a CQS accredited solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in home ownership transfers, trusted by some of the UK's major lenders. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Council of Licensed Conveyancing. Marshfield is one of the many areas of the UK where there are CQS solicitors.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Marshfield 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
