Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Romney

Are the Romney conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Yorkshire BS?

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

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Romney. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Romney?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from UBS as we wish to carry out renovations to our home in Romney. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Romney solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

UBS do not ordinarily appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS list.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Romney. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Romney solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Romney is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Romney are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Romney you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Romney may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
