We went with a Freshford based lawyer for our conveyancing in Freshford last week. Reviewing the official terms of business I noteI am responsible for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to use a web based firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Freshford?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract those transactions that abort. Also remember that these arrangements rarely protect you from expenses for instance Freshford conveyancing search expenses.
We were just about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Freshford. We have hit a problem. The loan offer with The Royal Bank of Scotland runs out on 24/12/2025 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 30/12/2025. Can one prolong the loan offer?
The person best placed to address this question is your conveyancer who is in a position to assess whether he or she is should be discussing with the lender, vendor’s solicitors, property agents or possibly all parties based on the circumstances your conveyancing to date.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Freshford so that I can attend their offices if necessary.
Most approved lawyers for lenders undertake their work via the post, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in the country. Nevertheless you can see if you have the option of going to the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.
Can you point me to a directory of Clydesdale panel solicitors in Freshford on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable on the web. Where you are in need of a Freshford conveyancer on the Clydesdale please use our tool.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Freshford conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove 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
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Freshford agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Freshford. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Freshford conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
Just bought a terraced house in Freshford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Freshford conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Freshford registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
