At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Hainault and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Hainault you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hainault)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hainault?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Hainault. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Hainault?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Hainault. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am expecting a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Hainault solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hainault solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
My wife and I are in the throws of viewing apartments in Hainault and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a solicitor in place at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Hainault for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see 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 Hainault conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Hainault is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Hainault are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hainault you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hainault may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
