I am expecting a mortgage with Santander. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Reynoldston. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Completed the sale of my flat in Reynoldston last July yet the purchaser is telephoning daily to say his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened now that I have sold?
After completion of your house sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer must also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Reynoldston.
Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Reynoldston?
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Reynoldston and Solicitor practices in Reynoldston to choose from It is important to make clear that the two are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in the home buying process. They may both also conduct associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Reynoldston. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
Planning on purchasing a house in Reynoldston. 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 Barclays 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 Reynoldston solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Reynoldston and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Reynoldston. We have lived in Reynoldston for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Reynoldston
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Reynoldston conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
