I am buying residence in Ludlow. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to use my Ludlow conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One must have a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your property. The solicitor will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could select a Ludlow solicitor of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not previously applied for membership they should do so.
Please help - my lawyer says that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Ludlow?
The appropriate level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Ludlow conveyancing solicitors have been selected. How long does it take for Nottingham to issue the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nottingham completed the survey? Have you informed Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Ludlow. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that 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.
I have todaybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Ludlow for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Ludlow conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Ludlow differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ludlow approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Ludlow typically acquire the land, 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 Ludlow or who has acted in the same development.
