Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ovingham

How up to date is your search tool for Ovingham conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Do Nottingham send you an updated list?

Ovingham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.

I am planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Ovingham who is on the The Mortgage Works solicitor. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works in certain locations such as Ovingham. We dont recommend any particular firm.

We are planning to move property in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Ovingham. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent however this should only be done once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Ovingham or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ovingham.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Ovingham conveyancing practitioners are appointed. How long does it take for UBS to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS done the valuation? Have you informed UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Ovingham accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ovingham. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with RBS?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Ovingham conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the RBS approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with searches.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a house in Ovingham? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Ovingham?

Unless a previous purchase of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Ovingham to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

Me and my brother have a terraced Victorian property in Ovingham. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Ovingham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

Should I go with a Ovingham conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can handle the legal formalities however her office is 200kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a high street Ovingham conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Ovingham know how is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were content that should surpass using an unknown Ovingham conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
