My financial adviser says he needs my The Park lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local The Park branch but they have not responded to me.
You are best placed to get this information from your The Park lawyer . Most The Park conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in The Park?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in The Park and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in The Park an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
My wife and I are downsizing from our property in The Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in The Park. We have lived in The Park for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
About to purchase a new build apartment in The Park. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in The Park
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. The Park is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in The Park are unusual 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 lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in The Park 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.
My step-father has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in The Park. Should I find my own conveyancer?
No doubt the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the firm you're contemplating using.
