I am looking to buy a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon who is on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd in certain locations such as Billesdon. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We are due to move property in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Billesdon. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent but this should only occur once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Billesdon or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Billesdon.
is it true that all Billesdon solicitor practices on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Billesdon agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with HSBC started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Billesdon conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Billesdon.
The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Billesdon 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical official documentation to prove you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
How does conveyancing in Billesdon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Billesdon approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Billesdon usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Billesdon or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Billesdon prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Billesdon. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
