Completed the sale of my flat in Frenchay last March yet the purchaser is texting me complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your solicitor is committed to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where appropriate, your solicitor must also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Frenchay.
Can you point me to a directory of RBS panel conveyancers in Frenchay on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are seeking to appoint a Frenchay conveyancing practitioner on the RBS please use our facility.
My fiancee and I are in the process of viewing houses in Frenchay and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Kent Reliance.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
About to purchase flat in Frenchay. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Frenchay solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian house in Frenchay. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Frenchay and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
