Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Woodstock

We went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Woodstock recently. Going through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or use a web based solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Woodstock?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover the conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these arrangements rarely protect you from expenditure such your Woodstock conveyancing search fees.

We are acquiring a newly built apartment in Woodstock and my conveyancer is telling me that she has to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to sign contracts and I don't want to delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Woodstock conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the UBS conveyancing panel?

Woodstock conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from UBS directly.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Woodstock. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Woodstock?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Woodstock. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

I am buying a property in Woodstock. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Woodstock.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Woodstock off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I got the keys to my home on 8 June and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Woodstock expressed confidence that it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Woodstock uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Woodstock registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Given that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on 3 bedroom house in Woodstock I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehome move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Woodstock.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case number.
