What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Rossendale?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Rossendale and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Rossendale should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a worrying emergence of a "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You should always trust your solicitor above all other players in the home moving process.
I am planning to move property in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Rossendale. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only be done after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Rossendale or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Rossendale.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Rossendale. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out 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.
Intending to buy a flat in Rossendale. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds 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 Rossendale lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I am purchasing my first flat in Rossendale benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My partner and I are buying a studio flat in Rossendale. At the point of instructing our conveyancing practitioner, they assured us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our mortgage broker emailed just now to advise that they are not on the Santander approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we pay for dual representation, with Santander appointing their own preferred property lawyer.
Where you are acquiring a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to meet. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancer should call Santander to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Santander's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Rossendale solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
