I was told yesterday by my mortgage broker that my Woburn Sands solicitor is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Woburn Sands lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Woburn Sands conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
Please could you vouch for a Halifax accepted Woburn Sands conveyancing conveyancer finish our house move within less than a month? Would it be better to use a high street Woburn Sands practice or an online conveyancer?
We can recommend some very good Woburn Sands conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the high street in Woburn Sands. Go in to a couple of law practices and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Mention your time frames together with your reasons and get a commitment on your deadline. Appoint the lawyer that you trust.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Woburn Sands?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender to check if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Woburn Sands.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Woburn Sands and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Woburn Sands. Having lived in Woburn Sands for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? 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)
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Woburn Sands before appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a mortgage on such a house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you call us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Woburn Sands. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Woburn Sands to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
I purchased a property in Woburn Sands last 13/8/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It is part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it can take one year to complete the registration formalities. I have called the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
Call your property lawyer - Where you are unsatisfied with the responses, enquire as to their firm’s complaints procedure and escalate your problem to a Partner. Registrations for Woburn Sands conveyancing are not known to be especially complex.
