I am progressing with the sale of my house in Ferryside and the estate agent has just telephoned to advise that the purchasers are appointing a new conveyancer. The reason given is that the bank will only engage with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a big named mortgage company only engage with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Ferryside ?
Banks have always had panels of law firms that can represent them, but in the past few years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for decades.
Lenders justify this action to a rise in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.
Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to list firms on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Ferryside?
We have not been informed any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
We are planning to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Ferryside. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this can only happen when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Ferryside or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Ferryside.
I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Ferryside. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Ferryside will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some works need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
My solicitor has informed me that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Ferryside?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Ferryside took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Ferryside I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ferryside suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Ferryside and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Ferryside. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Ferryside area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
