Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Meir

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Meir is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 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) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor 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 Meir conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

We are buying our first property. The property lawyer has messagedto ask if we want to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we have no idea as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Meir

The extent of Meir conveyancing searches depends entirely on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you adequately understand what information the searches could give you. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that information. Where you are in doubt, ask your solicitor to advise.

We're in Meir, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nationwide , and our solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I have been told by my solicitor that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Meir?

The appropriate level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

My wife and I are in the process of viewing flats in Meir and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.

It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Meir off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Santander. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.
