After what seems like an age a loan offer from Santander for the refinancing of my 3 room flat is to be issued by the end of next week. Could you suggest a low cost conveyancing law firm in Thames View?
You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the cheapest conveyancing in Thames View. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers offering the bait of low cost conveyancing in Thames View. Optimistically, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up paying a lot in extras and still not get the service expected.
When can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Thames View and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Thames View you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Thames View)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Thames View. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Santander are being pedantic. The Thames View solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Thames View solicitor - who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Thames View surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Thames View is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Thames View are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Thames View you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thames View may determine 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 residence.
How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Thames View based firm who is on the lender conveyancing panel. How simple is it to change conveyancer?
If you haven't yet appointed a solicitor to start work and at this stage simply received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Thames View that you're thinking of instructing.
