I am planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Droylsden who is on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society in certain locations such as Droylsden. We dont recommend any particular firm.
How can we know in advance if a Droylsden conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Droylsden getting recommendations is a sensible start. 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Droylsden is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Droylsden solicitor - who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Droylsden surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I need some quick conveyancing in Droylsden as I have an ultimatum to exchange contracts within one month. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not getting a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Droylsden the following are examples of what can show up and adversely affect market value: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Fees, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
The deeds to our house are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Droylsden 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
