I am not in a position to travel far from Pinner. Is there a reason why all Pinner conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in banks and building societies removing a number of firms from their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .
I am buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Pinner who is on the Bank of Scotland approved. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland in certain locations such as Pinner. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We are selling our property in Pinner and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pinner. Having lived in Pinner for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Pinner differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Pinner contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Pinner usually buy the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Pinner or who has acted in the same development.
