Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ringwood

It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Ringwood. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Ringwood relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am selling our property in Ringwood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ringwood. Having lived in Ringwood for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Ringwood. Now, I need my files but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Ringwood of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

I'm buying a new build house in Ringwood with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Ringwood and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to business lessees, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Ringwood is one of the hundreds of areas of the UK in which the firms we work with are located

My cousin has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Ringwood. Should I use them?

There are no two ways about it the best way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to have guidance from friends or family who have previously instructed the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
