A loan offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my single room maisonette is due imminently. Could you recommend a cheap conveyancing law firm in Peterborough?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Peterborough. Our aim is to provide cost effective conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations teasing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Peterborough. Optimistically, in choosing a lawyer for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up paying a lot in extras and still not end up with the service required.
Our grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Peterborough with a mortgage from Kent Reliance. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Peterborough?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Peterborough , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Peterborough conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Peterborough registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises so registration formalities is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Peterborough ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Peterborough conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Peterborough do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
