I am in need of a property lawyer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer as opposed to a high street Morden conveyancing lawyer?
Existing third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Morden conveyancers benefit from connections with mortgage brokers and property, local authorities, valuers and other conveyancing firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting a well rounded knowledge of the local area also helps too.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Morden last February but our buyer keeps e-mailing daily complaining that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer should deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Morden.
My wife and I are purchasing a flat in Morden. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to send funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Is there a list of UBS panel conveyancers in Morden on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings available online. Where you are seeking to appoint a Morden conveyancer on the UBS please make the most of our facility.
We expect to receive a OIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Morden solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Morden solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Morden. I now require my papers but the law firm has closed. What do I do?
You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Morden of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously used, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Morden I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Morden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
