Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Northampton

Please help. My Northampton lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toapply for Northampton conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. These Northampton checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Northampton conveyancing searches.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Northampton? Is this really necessary?

Northampton conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no older than three months).

Proof of the origin of monies is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering laws as lawyers have a duty to investigate that the funds you are utilising to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount where you are a cash purchaser) has come from legitimate source (such as employment savings) and is not the product of criminal activity.

The Northampton conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Northampton have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Northampton lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.

How does conveyancing in Northampton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Northampton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Northampton typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Northampton or who has acted in the same development.

I am a sole trader wishing to take an assignment of a lease of a shop on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering no-sale-no charges for commercial conveyancing in Northampton for less than 1500k?

We can recommend firms who host a wealth of experience of commercial conveyancing in Northampton, including the disposal and acquisition of businesses as well as simply premises. Whether you are hoping to acquire or dispose of a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a whole business we will find you the right firm. Regarding the charges this will depend on the structure and nuances of the proposed transaction. Let us have your details or call so as to enable us to provide you with a detailed commercial conveyancing calculation.

Is it best to instruct a Northampton conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work but her office is a couple of hundredmiles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Northampton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Northampton know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must surpass using an unfamiliar Northampton conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
