It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Murton lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Murton conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
My Solicitor in Murton is not listed on the Birmingham Midshires Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Birmingham Midshires panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Murton solicitors but Birmingham Midshires will need to instruct a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing charges and cause delays.
- Choose an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are Persuade your conveyancer to do everything within their powers to join the Birmingham Midshires conveyancing panel
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Murton. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Murton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Murton. The Murton property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Our offer on a detached house in Murton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Murton. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Murton conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
I require quick conveyancing in Murton as I have an ultimatum to complete within one month. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are are a cash purchaser you are at liberty not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would advise that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Murton the following are examples of what can appear and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Murton?
