After reading consumer advice sites for an online solicitor in Whalley, many post that I should use a CQS assured solicitor. What is CQS?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to best practice conveyancing processes via the scheme protocol the standard includes many partnerships who execute conveyancing in Whalley.
I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Whalley. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a compulsory element of moving house. An EPC should be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Whalley conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established local assessors
I am planning to move house in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Whalley. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent but this should only be done after the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Whalley or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Whalley.
UBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Whalley has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Call up UBS or your broker and complete any outstanding documentation. UBS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. UBS will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Whalley.
We are intent on selling our house in Whalley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Whalley. We have lived in Whalley for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Whalley. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Aldermore to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Whalley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Whalley. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
