Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Roundhay

Having been suggested to visit your company we were about to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Roundhay recommended on your site but stumbled across some other costs illustrations on the internet seem cheaper – why is this?

One can find many firms of conveyancing companies offering what appear to be extremely cheap conveyancing in Roundhay. Our advice is to think twice about how much you respect your own move to want to take 'cheap' risks concerning the quality of the conveyancing. Some hide additional charges well inside the terms of business. The law firms that we put forward for conveyancing in Roundhay neverbehave this way.

At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Roundhay and do I need to be at the lawyers office?

If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Roundhay you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Roundhay)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Roundhay who is on the Clydesdale solicitor. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale in certain locations such as Roundhay. We dont recommend any particular firm.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Roundhay conveyancing practitioners have been instructed. How long does it take for UBS to send the offer to the property lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have UBS done the survey? 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.

I am expecting a OIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Roundhay solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Roundhay solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Roundhay. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I own a semi-detached Victorian house in Roundhay. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Roundhay and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

My business partner and I are wishing to take an assignment of a lease of an office on the high street. Can you recommend solicitors offering competitive charges for commercial conveyancing in Roundhay for under 1500k?

We can recommend firms who host a wealth of experience of commercial conveyancing in Roundhay, including the disposal and purchase of businesses as well as simply premises. If you are hoping to acquire or lease a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a whole business we can find you the right solicitor. As for the charges this will depend on the structure and terms of the deal. Please provide us with your details or call so as to enable us to furnish you with a detailed commercial conveyancing quote.
