I am expecting a mortgage offer from Santander. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in St Mary Cray. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in St Mary Cray who is on the RBS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for RBS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in St Mary Cray.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list law firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in St Mary Cray?
We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. St Mary Cray is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in St Mary Cray are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in St Mary Cray you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Mary Cray may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I'm refinancing my primary house to a BTL loan with Birmingham Midshires and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on further house. The neighborhood we are talking about is St Mary Cray. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the conveyances?
Do use our search tool on this site to ensure that the lawyers are approved by both lenders. Assuming that they are your solicitor will be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in St Mary Cray
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred St Mary Cray conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
