My financial adviser requires my Bridport law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have contacted my local Bridport branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Bridport conveyancing practitioner . Most Bridport conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
We are selling our home in Bridport and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bridport. Having lived in Bridport for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? 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)
Have purchased a a detached house in Bridport , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Bridport conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bridport registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Bridport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bridport contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Bridport 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bridport or who has acted in the same development.
