The lawyers we work with ensure that the lines of communication are open and act on arising issues and developments expeditiously.
  • 2 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Ramsey is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) sometimes falls short of the high standards of professionalism you will expect.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ramsey

Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Ramsey with a mortgage. We have a Ramsey solicitor, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Ramsey property lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Ramsey lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Ramsey conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

There are only 72 years left on my lease in Ramsey. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. In some cases an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Ramsey.
