I am looking to buy a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in The Park who is on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd in certain locations such as The Park. We dont recommend any particular firm.
Does a directory service exist listing HSBC panel solicitors in The Park on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable online. Where you are looking for a The Park conveyancing practitioner on the HSBC please make the most of our facility.
My fiancee and I are in the process of viewing houses in The Park and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer appointed at this stage? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Nottingham.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in The Park is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. The Park is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in The Park 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 The Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in The Park 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 residence.
Is there anything unique about your site and alternative internet conveyancing solicitors when it comes to conveyancing in The Park?

Should I choose a The Park conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can perform the legal work however her office is approximately 350miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street The Park conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar The Park conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in The Park. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in The Park who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a The Park conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
