I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Ruddington with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
We are buying a property in Ruddington. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Ruddington

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ruddington
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Ruddington before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks may not give a mortgage on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ruddington. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Ruddington especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Ruddington.
I was recommended by a few selling agents in Ruddington to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
The financial adviser has suggested using their conveyancer for the conveyancing in Ruddington - Surely it’s advisable to just instruct them?
It is not always the case and you are at liberty to use whichever solicitor you prefer for your Ruddington conveyancing. A conveyancing practitioner recommended by a 3rd party adviser may not always be the best conveyancing practitioner, they may suggest their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your property lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
