My partner and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Laindon. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank approved list. Am I still permitted to use my Laindon conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must have a conveyancer to deal with the legal work required if you require a mortgage to buy your home. They will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You may select a Laindon lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should do so.
Should conveyancers request an advanced payment for conveyancing in Laindon?
If you are buying a property in Laindon your solicitor will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be needed shortly prior to exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days prior to the completion date.
We are due to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Laindon. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this should only happen once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Laindon or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Laindon.
I am expecting a AIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Laindon solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Laindon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
