Finally, a mortgage offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my 4 room maisonette is expected by the end of next week. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Oxshott?
This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for the cheapest conveyancing in Oxshott. We can offer you cost effective conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers seducing you with £100 conveyancing in Oxshott. The optimum result, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you paying a lot in extras and still not get the service required.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Oxshott?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
We were going to get a AIP from Co-operative 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 Co-operative recommend any Oxshott solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Oxshott solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Oxshott. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being difficult. The Oxshott solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Is it best to choose a Oxshott conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am buying? An old friend can carry out the legal work however they are based 400miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Oxshott conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Oxshott know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and the majority were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Oxshott conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
