Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rendlesham

How up to date is your search tool for Rendlesham conveyancing solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel? Do UBS send you an updated list?

Rendlesham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from UBS directly.

We're in Rendlesham, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

My wife and I are buying a flat in Rendlesham. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Rendlesham bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Rendlesham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

The property lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Rendlesham has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Skipton or your financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Skipton will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Skipton will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rendlesham.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Rendlesham conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Rendlesham.

How does conveyancing in Rendlesham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Rendlesham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Rendlesham typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Rendlesham or who has acted in the same development.

Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on a house in Rendlesham I wish to talk to a conveyancer about myhome move in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Rendlesham.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Rendlesham should be the figure that you end up paying.
