Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wallsend

My husband and I are looking to acquire a property in Wallsend and are in fact using a Wallsend conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Bank of Ireland have this morning contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Wallsend conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Wallsend lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

I am buying a property mortgage free in Wallsend. I have been living for the previous twelve years in Wallsend. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Wallsend conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it could be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Wallsend should provide you some helpful advice concerning this.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Wallsend what would it be?

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Wallsend conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I just acquired a flat at auction in Wallsend. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?

Now that you have exchanged you now have to find a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. Every auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I have instructed a Wallsend conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland 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 Wallsend 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.

I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Wallsend for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wallsend conveyancing specialists.

Is it best to go with a Wallsend conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am purchasing? An old friend can deal with the legal formalities however her office is approximately 350kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local Wallsend conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Wallsend know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were happy that must surpass using an unknown Wallsend conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
