As someone clueless as to the Netherne conveyancing process what is your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Netherne
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Netherne and elsewhere in South London is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially the lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Netherne should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
I am considering applying for a Coventry BS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Netherne with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Coventry BS ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Coventry BS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
We are due to move property in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Netherne. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this can only be done after the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Netherne or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Netherne.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Netherne building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Netherne conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Netherne. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

What are the common deficiencies that you witness in leases for Netherne properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Netherne is not unique. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the premises
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Virgin Money, and Alliance & Leicester all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
