Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Eye

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Eye is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Eye conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years old) in Eye. 95% of the appartments have already been occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Eye?

A big part of the Eye conveyancing process is the conveyancing searches. There are numerous companies who offer Eye conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search companies due to them carrying out, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authoritative source.

When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Eye and am I required to attend the solicitors office?

If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Eye you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Eye)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am buying a semi-detached house in Eye. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Eye you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a ground floor flat in Eye. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Eye?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Eye conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Leeds Building Society mortgage has been paid off.

I have instructed a Eye lawyer having checked that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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 Eye 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.

Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for stalling in Eye conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Eye.
