I am planning to move home in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Prudhoe. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only happen after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Prudhoe or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Prudhoe.
Is it the case that all Prudhoe conveyancing solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Prudhoe. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I purchased my home on 8 June and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Prudhoe said it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Prudhoe particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Prudhoe registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property so registration formalities is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Prudhoe I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Prudhoe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Prudhoe. I've stumble across a site which looks to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
We are purchasing a three bedroom flatin Prudhoe with a home loan from a mortgage company. We would like to retain our lawyer in Prudhoe yet our bank says he's not approved on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Prudhoe solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Prudhoe : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
