I am nearing exchange of contracts for my maisonette in Pevensey Bay and the estate agent has just called to advise that the purchasers are swapping conveyancer. The excuse is that the bank will only work with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a big named mortgage company only deal with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to appoint to handle their conveyancing in Pevensey Bay ?
UK lenders have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for many years.
Lending institutions attribute this action to a rise in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to oversee. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The purchasers are not going to have any impact on this.
My nephew is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Pevensey Bay with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Just bought a terraced house in Pevensey Bay , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Pevensey Bay conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Pevensey Bay is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Pevensey Bay. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
