Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Willerby

My lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Willerby. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must check that the lender is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender specifications have to be complied with.

When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Willerby and do I need to attend the lawyers office?

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Willerby you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Willerby)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Yorkshire BS, do Willerby lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Willerby. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I have instructed a Willerby conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative 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 Willerby 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.

How does conveyancing in Willerby differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Willerby come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Willerby tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Willerby or who has acted in the same development.

In surfing the world wide web for the term cheap conveyancing in Willerby it shows results of numerous solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right solicitor for me?

The best method of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so enquire of colleagues and relatives who have acquired a property in Willerby or a respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Willerby vary, so it's a good idea to request at least four costs illustrations from different companies. Make sure that you know that the fees are fixed.

Why can I not complete our conveyancing in Willerby on Easter Monday?

Because on completion the funds needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s property lawyer and currently this can only occur on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
