We note that you have a search directory listing firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Worplesdon?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Worplesdon.
A relative pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Worplesdon there could be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Worplesdon which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Worplesdon should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
Does a directory service exist listing Aldermore panel solicitors in Worplesdon on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings viewable on the web. If you are in need of a Worplesdon property lawyer on the Aldermore please use our tool.
Is it the case that all Worplesdon solicitor practices on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the CLC.
My wife and I own a terraced Edwardian property in Worplesdon. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review 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 Worplesdon and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Worplesdon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Worplesdon contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Worplesdon usually purchase 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 Worplesdon or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Worplesdon ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not issue a mortgage on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Worplesdon. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Worplesdon to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I was recommended by a number of selling agents in Worplesdon to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
