In a situation where the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Ratcliff conveyancing lawyer. In addition, ensure that the lawyer is on the member panel.

This can often result in the legal transfer of property being held up by almost 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Ratcliff conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

I have instructed a Ratcliff conveyancer having made sure that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ratcliff postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ratcliff.
Just bought a terraced house in Ratcliff , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Ratcliff conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Ratcliff is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I was pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Ratcliff to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your site over a competitor’s?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
