My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Goddington. I I would like to check if they are on the Skipton Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
You should call your conveyancer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Skipton Building Society who may be able to help.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Goddington. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you are now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you now have to choose a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are facing a pending deadline in which to complete the purchase. All auction property should have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You need to give this to the solicitor working for you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Goddington conveyancer on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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 HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have instructed a Goddington lawyer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton 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 Goddington 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.
We are intent on selling our home in Goddington and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Goddington. Having lived in Goddington for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Goddington for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Goddington conveyancing specialists.

We have had DIP from Leeds Building Society who indicated we could borrow up to £218k. When do I need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Goddington is where we are buying.
You can instruct a conveyancing practitioner now so that the conveyancing practitioner can open the file so they can commence their AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to commence work you will be asked for a deposit usually about £225. That should generally be after you have the loan offer from the lender and valuation results, but should you wish to expedite matters you can get going quicker albeit risking some money.
