Finally, a loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 3 room apartment is expected within the next few days. Can you suggest a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Parkwood Springs?
You have arrived at the wrong site to search for a cheap conveyancing in Parkwood Springs. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations offering the bait of ninety nine pound conveyancing in Parkwood Springs. At best, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up invoiced for additional fees and still not get the service expected.
We intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Parkwood Springs with a loan from Leeds Building Society.We like our Parkwood Springs conveyancing lawyer but Leeds Building Society says he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
I completed on my home on 7 February and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Parkwood Springs expressed confidence that it would be registered in less than a month. Are titles in Parkwood Springs particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Parkwood Springs registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Parkwood Springs differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Parkwood Springs come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Parkwood Springs tend to buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Parkwood Springs or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a number of property agents in Parkwood Springs to select a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
