Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stow on the Wold

As someone not used to conveyancing in Stow on the Wold what is your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Stow on the Wold

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Stow on the Wold and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Stow on the Wold is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

Every so often 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 estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Stow on the Wold?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

is it true that all Stow on the Wold solicitor practices on the HSBC conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.

The mortgage over my property is with Nationwide for my property in Stow on the Wold. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?

You must advise Nationwide prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nationwide will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel firm.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Stow on the Wold. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

I got the keys to my apartment on 7 April and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Stow on the Wold advises it should be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Stow on the Wold particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Stow on the Wold registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Do I need to be wary by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Stow on the Wold conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many professional services, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
