Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ringmer

My mortgage broker has requested my Ringmer lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have tried my local Ringmer office but they have not got back to me yet.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Ringmer conveyancer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ringmer? Is this really necessary?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Where you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Ringmer for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Ringmer conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Ringmer differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Ringmer contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Ringmer tend to purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ringmer or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Ringmer before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ringmer. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Ringmer especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Ringmer.

We have recently had an offer accepted on our 1st home in Ringmer, and are now looking to get solicitors instructed. We have utilised the numerous rating based websites and the results are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Ringmer lawyer local to our prospective property? We are happy to do everything electronically, but I assume at some point we will be required to attend the lawyer's office to sign papers?

There is no need to physically visit the office of your solicitor, they can send any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers choose to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means essential for conveyancing in Ringmer.
