I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Santander. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Seahouses. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Are you able to vouch for a Coventry Building Society approved Seahouses conveyancing practice that can complete within 28 days? Would it be better to use a local Seahouses firm or a factory type firm?
We can recommend some very good Seahouses conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the main road in Seahouses. Go in to a couple of firms and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your deadline together with the reasons and ask for an assurance on your deadline. Select the lawyer that genuine.
Are the Seahouses conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Coventry BS?
Seahouses conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
Does a directory service exist listing Virgin Money panel conveyancers in Seahouses on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings open the public over the internet. Where you are in need of a Seahouses property lawyer on the Virgin Money please use our tool.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Seahouses conveyancing practitioners were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative completed the valuation? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Seahouses conveyancer having checked that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Seahouses postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Seahouses.
My husband and I are 17 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to perform conveyancing in Seahouses. I am am very frustrated with the quality of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?
They would have to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and get the loan are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid escalating charges and delays. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.
