Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Brandon?
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Brandon and Solicitor practices in Brandon who can assist with your conveyancing We would stress that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. The two can deal with associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.
How can we know in advance if a Brandon conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Brandon seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Brandon lawyer on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Brandon completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.
How does conveyancing in Brandon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brandon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Brandon typically 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 used to new build conveyancing in Brandon or who has acted in the same development.
I'm refinancing my existing property to a BTL loan with Chelsea Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards a second property. The location we are talking about is Brandon. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the transactions?
Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are your conveyancer will be able to tie up the two deals but you should have a chat with you solicitor and specify your desired outcome and needs.
How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Brandon based firm who is on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet appointed a conveyancer to start work and at this stage simply received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Brandon that you're thinking of instructing.
