Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leeswood

My partner and I are looking to purchase a home in Leeswood and are in fact using a Leeswood conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Godiva Mortgages Ltd have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Leeswood conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is normal 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 Quality Scheme. Your solicitor 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 don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Leeswood lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

We note that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Leeswood?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Leeswood.

The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Leeswood 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.

How does conveyancing in Leeswood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Leeswood contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Leeswood 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Leeswood or who has acted in the same development.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Leeswood. I happened to land on a web site which looks to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals done via email that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Leeswood which have about forty five years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
