Are the Ipswich conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Co-operative?
Ipswich conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Ipswich. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Ipswich building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Ipswich conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
My sealed bid on a property in Ipswich has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Ipswich. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Ipswich conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Ipswich.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Ipswich took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 premises 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.
