My IFA says he needs my Molesey law firm’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Molesey office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Molesey lawyer . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
At what point does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Molesey and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Molesey you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Molesey)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Molesey. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Molesey?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
We had chosen solicitors based in Molesey on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Molesey conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Skipton panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Molesey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Molesey lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I used Stirling Law a few years ago for my conveyancing in Molesey. I now require my papers however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Molesey
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Molesey conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
