What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Huyton?
The first thing to point out is that, 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 at a cost.
is it true that all Huyton solicitor firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Huyton off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
Aldermore have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Huyton has been accepted, what happens next?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Aldermore or your broker and finish off any relevant documentation. Aldermore will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Huyton.
I am intent on selling our home in Huyton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Huyton conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Huyton. Having lived in Huyton for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
Just bought a terraced house in Huyton , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Huyton conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Huyton is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Should local authority consent be necessary to split a single dwelling into a couple of flats in Huyton? This has occurred to a house opposite to a friend in Huyton and was ignorant of it happening until the works were complete.
Planning Permission yes. Building Regulations yes.
