I am in need of a property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer or a high street Stockwood conveyancing solicitor?
Existing third party connections is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Stockwood conveyancers enjoy connections with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting vast knowledge of the local area is an advantage.
I have been told by my lawyer that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Stockwood?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
Is there a list of Aldermore panel conveyancers in Stockwood on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings visible on the web. Where you are seeking to appoint a Stockwood solicitor on the Aldermore please use our tool.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Stockwood. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for obstruction in Stockwood house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Stockwood.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Stockwood?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Stockwood. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Stockwood to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
