I was notified today by my estate agent that my Pewsey property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Pewsey conveyancer. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Pewsey conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Pewsey and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Pewsey. I need to find out if they are on the Lloyds TSB Bank conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should call the solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please call Lloyds TSB Bank who may be able to help.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for stalling in Pewsey conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Pewsey.
How does conveyancing in Pewsey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Pewsey approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Pewsey usually acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Pewsey or who has acted in the same development.
