We are purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Purfleet who is on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Purfleet.
We had instructed solicitors with offices in Purfleet on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Purfleet conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Purfleet. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Co-operative. Is it usual for Co-operative to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Purfleet is approved on their conveyancing panel? Co-operative have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
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 Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Purfleet for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Purfleet conveyancing specialists.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Purfleet
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Purfleet conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
When it comes to my conveyancing in Purfleet should I be charged VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee
(1) Land reg fee on purchase - No (2) Pre - completion search fees -No, (such conveyancing searches are HMLR ones and means £4 and possibly £2 bankruptcy per name on your mortgage) (3) SDLT E submission on your purchase - There is no VAT on Stamp Duty. However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Purfleet conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the conveyancing practitioner's time in submitting the funds this way.
