Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Clayhall

I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Clayhall. What can I do to expedite matters?

First, If the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they would have transacted previousproperties in the same street. Therefore consider using a Clayhall conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of Clayhall conveyancing deals are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the transaction being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Many Clayhall conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Clayhall. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Clayhall relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Clayhall for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Barclays won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

Mortgage Companies ordinarily imposes restrictions either the category or the amount of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have reduced the number of solicitor practices they allow to represent them. You should note that Barclays have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barclays Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there remains mixed opinions about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Clayhall only execute very few conveyances a year.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Clayhall

There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Clayhall and Solicitor practices in Clayhall to choose from We would stress that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal aspects of the home buying process. They may both also deal with associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.

Is it the case that all Clayhall CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved firms?

It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.

We were going to get a OIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Clayhall solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Clayhall solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
