We hired a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Rhosneigr today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based solicitor practice offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Rhosneigr?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to cover those transactions that do not go ahead. Please beware that such arrangements generally do not cover expenses such your Rhosneigr conveyancing search costs.
My wife and I have lately acquired a property in Rhosneigr. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Rhosneigr?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Rhosneigr. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Rhosneigr.
My Solicitor in Rhosneigr has never been on on the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Bank of Ireland panel?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Rhosneigr lawyers but Bank of Ireland will need to instruct a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal fees and cause frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to to deal with the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Bank of Ireland panel
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from TSB as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Rhosneigr. Are we obliged to choose a high street Rhosneigr solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
TSB do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Rhosneigr conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for UBS to send the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. 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? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Rhosneigr. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
