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.

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?
