I selected a Whitnash based lawyer for our conveyancing in Whitnash last week. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use an internet solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Whitnash?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset the cases that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these arrangements rarely protect you from outlay for example Whitnash conveyancing search fees.
My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a property in Whitnash and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We see that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Whitnash?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Whitnash.
Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to to identify law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Whitnash?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
We previously instructed conveyancers locally in Whitnash on the Barclays solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Barclays but by your Whitnash conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Barclays panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
How can we know in advance if a Whitnash conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Whitnash seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
We expect to receive a OIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Whitnash solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Whitnash solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
