I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Wollaton. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should e-mail your conveyancer and ask them if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should get in touch with Leeds Building Society who may be able to help.
I am due to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Wollaton. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent however this should only occur when the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Wollaton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Wollaton.
It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Wollaton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Wollaton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Wollaton. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Soon after, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Wollaton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wollaton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I am buying my first flat in Wollaton with a loan from TSB. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My partner has recommend that I instruct his conveyancers in Wollaton. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to have referrals from friends or relatives who have actually used the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
Are Wollaton conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to issue clear conveyancing costs?
Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be regarded as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, constitute the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Wollaton or across England and Wales.
