As someone not used to the Caddington conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart for the home moving process in Caddington
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Caddington and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes a lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Caddington is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above all other players in the conveyancing process.
My lawyer in Caddington has never been on on the Lloyds TSB Bank Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your preferred Caddington solicitors but Lloyds TSB Bank will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional total legal fees as well as result in frustration.
- Get an alternative solicitor to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are Lloyds TSB Bank approved.
- Try to convince your Lloyds TSB Bank solicitor to try to join the Lloyds TSB Bank panel
I'm in the process of looking at flats in Caddington and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
About to purchase house in Caddington. 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 Skipton 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 Caddington lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Caddington on 2/10/2025, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Caddington ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a loan on such a home.
