I am due to complete buying a property in Ravenshead but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Santander will not agree to this. Why were they informed?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on the Santander approved list is required to advise Santander of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Ravenshead.
When will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Ravenshead and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Ravenshead you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ravenshead)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Ravenshead. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ravenshead?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Ravenshead. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Intending to buy a house in Ravenshead. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ravenshead lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ravenshead is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
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 Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Ravenshead is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ravenshead are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ravenshead you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ravenshead may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
