Is it the case that all Wrington conveyancing solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Wrington. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being pedantic. The Wrington solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
How does conveyancing in Wrington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wrington come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Wrington tend to acquire 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wrington or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Wrington I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wrington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Wrington
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Wrington conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
