My wife and I are buying a house in Little Bromwich. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Little Bromwich
There are two types of lawyers who can conduct conveyancing in Little Bromwich namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the disposal or purchase of property. They are both required to carry out Little Bromwich conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that the requirements and steps will be appropriately adhered to.
Can I be sure that the Little Bromwich conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Little Bromwich getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Little Bromwich , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Little Bromwich conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Little Bromwich registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Little Bromwich benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Little Bromwich is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Little Bromwich are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Little Bromwich you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Little Bromwich may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Little Bromwich. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Little Bromwich - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My friend mentioned that before selecting a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your bank. This is my first home move but I have an offer in principle with Nat West Bank and I already have a high street conveyancing solicitor in Little Bromwich at the ready. Will Santander need an approved conveyancer to be selected? Does a list of panel solicitors even exist so I can pick a conveyancing solicitor in Little Bromwich?
You should use a solicitor that is on the Santander panel. Just call your preferred Little Bromwich conveyancing solicitor to check if they are on the Santander panel. If they are not on the panel you have numerous alternatives open to you here:
- Proceed with your chosen Little Bromwich conveyancing practitioner but Santander will need to use a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with likely delay.
- Choose a new lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the Santander conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to get accepted on the Santander conveyancing panel.
