IfI were to acquire a freehold housein Woore for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Woore?
The only saving you would make on is the costs for searches. The conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your sellers solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be a lot.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Woore. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most lenders 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 resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Woore building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Woore conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your solicitor must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being problematic. The Woore solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Woore , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Woore conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Woore registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a house in Woore I wish to talk to a solicitor about myhouse move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Woore.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Woore should be the figure that you are charged.
As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a residence in Monmouth but reside in Woore. My solicitor (who is 250 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Woore to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Woore based
My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Woore. At the time of instructing our conveyancing practitioner, they told us that they were on all major UK lender panels. The financial adviser contacted us yesterday to advise that they are not on the Leeds Building Society approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we simply pick a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Leeds Building Society appointing their own preferred conveyancer.
Where you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to satisfy. Some building societies now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should call Leeds Building Society and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Leeds Building Society's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Woore solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
