Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Norwich. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Norwich?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Does a directory service exist listing Yorkshire BS panel solicitors in Norwich on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings visible on the web. Where you are in need of a Norwich property lawyer on the Yorkshire BS please use our tool.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Norwich building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Norwich conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your lawyer must follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 remaining.
My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Norwich and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Norwich. Having lived in Norwich for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Norwich completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am using a search engine for the words cheap conveyancing in Norwich it shows results of many conveyancersin the area. How do I determine which is the suitable solicitor for my move?
The preferential method of choosing the right conveyancer is through a personal recommendation, so ask friends and those you trust who have purchased a property in Norwich or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Fees for conveyancing in Norwich differ, so it's sensible to obtain at least four costs illustrations from different solicitors. Make sure that you clarify what costs in the quote includes.
