Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Nettleham

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Nettleham is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Nettleham conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Nettleham and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

The conveyancer is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Nettleham?

Two types of professional can execute conveyancing in Nettleham namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can provide the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are required to conduct Nettleham conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that all necessary procedures should be correctly followed.

Can I be sure that the Nettleham conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Nettleham getting recommendations is a good 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 suggest that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Nettleham conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

How does conveyancing in Nettleham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Nettleham approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Nettleham typically buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Nettleham or who has acted in the same development.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Nettleham with the aim of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Nettleham can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers.
    • The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Nettleham levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Nettleham. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Nettleham - Sample of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    Is there a share of the freehold? What restrictions are there in the Nettleham Lease?

I bought a house in Nettleham last 18/8/2022 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it may take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have called HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. What can I do?

It is your conveyancer that you must contact in order to satisfy any questions which have arisen as part of the registration process for your Nettleham property. Normal Nettleham conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s conveyancing practitioner that they will assist in resolving any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
