I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Nat West. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Hawkhurst. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
As someone not used to the Hawkhurst conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Hawkhurst
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hawkhurst and elsewhere in Kent is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes a lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Hawkhurst should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and sway you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for stalling in Hawkhurst conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Hawkhurst.
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Hawkhurst took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Hawkhurst differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hawkhurst come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Hawkhurst typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hawkhurst or who has acted in the same development.
