Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Vauxhall

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Skipton Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Vauxhall?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. 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 at a cost.

Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Vauxhall can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Is it the case that all Vauxhall CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the TSB conveyancing panel?

A selection of lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.

Aldermore have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Vauxhall has been agreed to, what happens next?

Your property agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (be sure the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Call up Aldermore or your financial adviser and finalise any relevant forms. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Vauxhall.
