Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Redhill?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Redhill. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you are exchanged you must appoint a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. All auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to the solicitor working for you ASAP. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Redhill. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Redhill?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Redhill conveyancing lawyers have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality completed the survey? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I completed on my flat on 12 May and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Redhill expressed confidence that it should be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Redhill uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Redhill registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Redhill is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Redhill are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Redhill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Redhill may ascertain 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 residence.
