Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Ravensthorpe conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?
Ravensthorpe conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
We intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Ravensthorpe with a loan from TSB.We have a Ravensthorpe conveyancing practitioner but TSB says his firm is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a TSB panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the TSB approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB
Just acquired a detached house in Ravensthorpe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Ravensthorpe conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Ravensthorpe is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Ravensthorpe. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
