I chose a local lawyer for our conveyancing in New Southgate last week. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an internet conveyancing company who offer no move no charge conveyancing in New Southgate?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Dont forget that these arrangements rarely cover outlay by way of example New Southgate conveyancing search expenses.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of New Southgate conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
New Southgate conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.
Can you point me to a directory of Bank of Ireland panel conveyancers in New Southgate on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are in need of a New Southgate conveyancer on the Bank of Ireland please make the most of our facility.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we want to conduct renovations to our house in New Southgate. Are we obliged to appoint a local New Southgate solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Leeds Building Society don't usually instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society panel.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in New Southgate. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in New Southgate. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in New Southgate and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we use their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in New Southgate
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred New Southgate conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
