The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Yeovil. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. 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.
About to purchase house in Yeovil. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Yeovil solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Yeovil accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Yeovil. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Yeovil conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Yeovil. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
