Willretaining a Tisbury conveyancing solicitor make the legal process smoother?
Established third party relationships is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing lawyers. Tisbury conveyancers often have long term relationships with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Possessing a well rounded insight into the local area is an advantage.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Skipton Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tisbury?
The first thing to point out is that, 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.
I am assisting my aunt sell her flat in Tisbury. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an EPC or do I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s remained a required part of selling a property. An energy assessment should be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are using a Tisbury conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Tisbury providers
I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Tisbury. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. Most lenders would take a practical view as this obligation principally exists to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
TSB have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Tisbury has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone TSB or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant paperwork. TSB will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. TSB will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Tisbury.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Tisbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
