is it true that all East Molesey conveyancing solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be governed by the CLC.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in East Molesey has been agreed to, now what?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Lloyds or your broker and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Lloyds will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in East Molesey.
My sealed bid on a semi in East Molesey has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in East Molesey. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, East Molesey conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in East Molesey.
