As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Willen what is your top tip you can impart concerning the house moving process in Willen
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Willen or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Willen should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a worrying increase of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
My Solicitor in Willen is not listed on the Virgin Money Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Virgin Money panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your preferred Willen solicitors but Virgin Money will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as result in delays.
- Find a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Virgin Money approved.
- Try to convince your Virgin Money solicitor to attempt to join the Virgin Money panel
I have been told by my lawyer that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Willen?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Virgin Money as we wish to conduct alterations to our property in Willen. Are we obliged to select a local Willen solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Virgin Money do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money list.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, RBS are being pedantic. The Willen solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial estate in Willen?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Willen will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Willen. The search result provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Willen.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Willen it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could cause delays to Willen commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Willen.
three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Willen completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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.
