My fiance and I are hoping to buy a house in Kegworth and have instructed a Kegworth conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Norwich and Peterborough Building Society have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Kegworth conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?
Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Kegworth solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Kegworth. I have lived for the last twelve years in Kegworth. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then almost all of the Kegworth conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will be of importance to your future buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where premises with apparent issues can still show up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Kegworth should be able to give you some practical guidance concerning this.
We are aiming to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Kegworth. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only occur when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Kegworth or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Kegworth.
I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Kegworth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is principally there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
When it comes to lenders such as Bank of Ireland, do Kegworth solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I need some fast conveyancing in Kegworth as I am faced with pressure to sign on the dotted line inside one month. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are are a cash buyer you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Kegworth the following are instances of what can appear and therefore impact future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
