Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Steyning

My financial adviser has asked me for my Steyning law firm’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have called my local Steyning office but they don't know it.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Steyning solicitor . Most Steyning conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

The Steyning conveyancing firm handling our Steyning conveyancing has discovered a difference between the information in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?

Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Have completed on a a detached house in Steyning , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Steyning conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Steyning registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Steyning I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Steyning in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

How easy is it to use the search app to get a costs illustration from a conveyancing lawyer in Steyning on the panel for my lender?

1st select a lender such as Halifax, Bank of Scotland or Nottingham Building Society then type in your location for example Steyning. Conveyancing practices in Steyning and across England and Wales will then be identified.

We are thinking of appointing an online conveyancer ahead of a Steyning conveyancing practice. Should I ‘stay local’?

Advantages do exist in being able to attend a local Steyning conveyancing solicitor for example

  • signing papers same day
  • sometimes being able to speak to someone face-to-face can make a significant difference, particularly for non-standard house moves
  • the ability to raise concerns if things need to addressed

When analysing quotes, look out for hidden extras. The majority decent Steyning high street solicitors give an all-inclusive figure. Many online agents seem to offer discounted fees, but have hidden 'extras' in the small print.
