My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Ravensthorpe. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the National Westminster Bank approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing you should do is call the solicitor and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call National Westminster Bank who may be able to assist.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Ravensthorpe but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the lowest Ravensthorpe conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Ravensthorpe conveyancing practitioners face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I have instructed a Ravensthorpe lawyer having checked that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Ravensthorpe surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
