Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ripon

Are the Ripon conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the UBS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by UBS?

Ripon 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.

My property lawyer in Ripon has never been on on the Alliance & Leicester Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Alliance & Leicester approved list?

The limited options available to you here include:

  1. Complete the purchase with your existing Ripon lawyers but Alliance & Leicester will need to use a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing fees as well as cause delays.
  2. Find an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Alliance & Leicester panel

How does conveyancing in Ripon differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ripon contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Ripon tend to acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Ripon or who has acted in the same development.

I have been advised by three or four local property agents in Ripon to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I am looking for a conveyancing lawyer in Ripon for my home move. Can I review a firm’s record with the profession’s regulator?

To find details Pre 2008, or to check a solicitors record, call 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am. International callers, call +44 (0)121 329 6800.
