My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Perivale. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
You should call the conveyancer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with Lloyds TSB Bank who may be able to confirm.
We expect to receive a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Perivale solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Perivale solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Perivale. 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 Nottingham 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 Perivale lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
My offer was accepted on an apartment in Perivale on 30/9/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I used Stirling Law a few years ago for my conveyancing in Perivale. Now, I need my files but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?
You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Perivale of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously retained, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Perivale and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Perivale. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Perivale area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Perivale. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Perivale. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our mortgage broker emailed yesterday to say that they don't appear to be on the Coventry BS approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we simply choose a different property lawyer that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for dual representation, with Coventry BS selecting their own preferred lawyer.
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to meet. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Coventry BS and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Coventry BS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Perivale solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancer into the mix.
