This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Kirkby In Furness. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Kirkby In Furness?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Kirkby In Furness. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Kirkby In Furness on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Kirkby In Furness conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Kirkby In Furness. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
My wife and I are intent on selling our house in Kirkby In Furness and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkby In Furness. We have lived in Kirkby In Furness for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 sickness)
How does conveyancing in Kirkby In Furness differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kirkby In Furness contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Kirkby In Furness tend to buy 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 property lawyers 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 Kirkby In Furness or who has acted in the same development.
I'm converting the mortgage on my current property to a buy to let loan with Lloyds TSB Bank and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on another property.

Make use of our search tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels.
