we are a couple who wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Ashton with a homeloan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We use our Ashton conveyancing lawyer but The Royal Bank of Scotland says he's not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
My wife and I are buying a property in Ashton. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
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.
We are planning to move house in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Ashton. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this can only be done after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Ashton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Ashton.
When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Ashton property lawyers incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Ashton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ashton. Having lived in Ashton for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
