Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Griffithstown

My financial adviser requires my Griffithstown law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have e-mailed my local Griffithstown office but they don't know it.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Griffithstown lawyer . Most Griffithstown conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

We are purchasing our first home. Our solicitor has e-mailedto see if we would like to purchase additional conveyancing searches. As novices we are clueless as to what's needed for conveyancing in Griffithstown

The scope of Griffithstown conveyancing searches depends primarily on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general attitude to risk. What is important is that you properly understand what information each search could supply. Then you can decide if you personally think you need that information. Where you are in doubt, ask the conveyancing practitioner to advise.

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Griffithstown. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Griffithstown relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Griffithstown?

There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Griffithstown and Solicitor partnerships in Griffithstown to choose from It is important to make clear that the two are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. Both can conduct other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.

I have been advised by my conveyancer that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Griffithstown?

The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Griffithstown. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?

You must advise Leeds Building Society before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel firm.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could impact a commercial property in Griffithstown?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Griffithstown will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Griffithstown. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Griffithstown.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Griffithstown it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Griffithstown commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Griffithstown.

New build sellers have recommended to me a property lawyer and I've received an estimate from them. It's almost three hundred pounds cheaper than my preferred Griffithstown lawyer. What's the catch?

Builders often have lists of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they need an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended solicitor is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Griffithstown conveyancing practitioner.
