I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Sheen Park. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Sheen Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Sheen Park conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sheen Park. We have lived in Sheen Park for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Sheen Park for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, 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 Sheen Park conveyancing specialists.
What does commercial conveyancing in Sheen Park cover?
Commercial conveyancing in Sheen Park incorporates a wide array of guidance, offered by regulated solicitors, relating to business property. By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
Is it best to appoint a Sheen Park conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal formalities however his firm is located 400miles away.
The benefit of a local Sheen Park conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Sheen Park know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Sheen Park conveyancing lawyer just because they are Sheen Park based.
I have read on numerous online forums that before choosing a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your lender. I am novice purchaser but I have an AIP from HSBC and I already have a high street conveyancing lawyer in Sheen Park in place. Will HSBC need an approved conveyancer to be selected? If so, where can I find that list so I can appoint a conveyancing solicitor in Sheen Park?
You should use a solicitor that is on the HSBC panel. Simply call your preferred Sheen Park conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the HSBC panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of choices available to you here:
- Proceed with your chosen Sheen Park solicitor but HSBC will no doubt instruct a solicitor on their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional charges and probable delay.
- Get a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to get listed on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
