I am getting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Selsey. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Selsey what is the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Selsey
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Selsey and elsewhere in West Sussex is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Selsey is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Selsey and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Selsey. Having lived in Selsey for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 have justbeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Selsey for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises 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 Selsey conveyancing specialists.
