Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beddington

My husband and I are planning to buy a flat in Beddington and have appointed a Beddington conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Bank of Ireland have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Beddington lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Beddington lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Beddington?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Beddington. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Beddington?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

My aunt informed me that in buying a property in Beddington there may be various restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to the property. Is this right?

We are aware of anumerous of properties in Beddington which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Beddington should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

My fiancee and I are spending time looking at apartments in Beddington and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Principality.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when acquiring a property in Beddington? or Apparently there is an ancient law that could mean that homeowners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Beddington?

Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Beddington to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Beddington is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Beddington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Beddington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beddington may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Beddington being on the bank conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our bank?

We do not recommend specific Beddington firms as the right Beddington conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Beddington knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
