Are the Thorne conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nationwide?
Thorne conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.
I am due to move property in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Thorne. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent but this can only be done after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Thorne or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Thorne.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Thorne. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Thorne. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Thorne and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Thorne conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Thorne. We have lived in Thorne for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must 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 illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Thorne?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Thorne. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I was recommended by two or three local selling agents in Thorne to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
