Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wareham

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Wareham conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Yorkshire BS?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Yorkshire BS conducted the survey? Have you advised Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Wareham. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Wareham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wareham conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when acquiring a property in Wareham? or I am told that there is historic law that means some owners of property residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Wareham?

Unless a previous acquisition of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Wareham to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

Just bought a detached house in Wareham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Wareham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration is addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Wareham is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
