As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Ormesby what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the house moving process in Ormesby
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Ormesby and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and sometimes the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Ormesby should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a definite emergence of a "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You must always trust your conveyancer above the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
is it true that all Ormesby conveyancing solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Santander conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I are at the point of viewing flats in Ormesby and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a mortgage with TSB.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
