Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Immingham

We are a couple about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Immingham. We have hit a snag. The loan offer with The Royal Bank of Scotland expires on 22/5/2024 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 24/5/2024. Is it possible to extend the mortgage offer?

The person best placed to address this issue is your lawyer who is in a position to assess if he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage company, vendor’s conveyancers, property agents or indeed all three taking into account what has gone on in your conveyancing as of today.

As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Immingham?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Immingham or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and even potentially the lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Immingham an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Immingham?

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 for a fee.

The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Immingham. Conveyancing was finalised some time 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 BTL mortgage or inform Barclays?

You must advise Barclays prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.
