Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Penrith

As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Penrith?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Penrith and elsewhere in Cumbria is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Penrith should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a potential adversary will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Penrith?

The first thing to point out is that, 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.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent however this can only take place once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over.

We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Penrith or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Penrith.

is it true that all Penrith conveyancing solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

About to purchase house in Penrith. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Penrith conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
