Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Raunds

We selected a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Raunds last week. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I noteI am on the hook for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and use an internet solicitor practice advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Raunds?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset the cases that abort. Dont forget that these schemes tend not to cover expenses such as Raunds conveyancing search charges.

Is there a search tool that I can utilise to find out if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Raunds is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for The Royal Bank of Scotland thus spending £187.00 plus VAT in supplemental legal fees.

Feel free to take advantage of the find a conveyancing panel solicitor tool on this page. Pick the lender and type ‘Raunds’ or your location and you will discover a number of lawyer offices in Raunds or nearest you.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Raunds. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Raunds?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

Is it the case that all Raunds solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have paid off my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Raunds property lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Yorkshire BS mortgage has been paid off.

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Raunds will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Raunds. The search result provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Raunds.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Raunds it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Raunds in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Raunds. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
