Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rushden

I am not in a position to travel far from Rushden. Is there a reason why all Rushden lawyers are not on all bank panels?

A decade ago most lenders demonstrated an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. As a result, lenders have subsequently soughtmore information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the criteria of volume of transactions the lenders set.

Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Rushden conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel?

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

Am I right to be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Rushden conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend lawyers to retain. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.

We are 18 days into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Rushden. I am am starting to be disappointed with the quality of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?

A lawyer would have to be really bad in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? If so you need to advise them of the new solicitor and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid escalating costs and complications. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers. The search tool can help you find a bank approved conveyancer for your conveyancing in Rushden

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Rushden what are the most frequent lease problems?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Rushden. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage

You could have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Coventry Building Society, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

Rushden Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Queries Prior to buying

    Is there a share of the freehold? How many years are left on the lease?

My partner and I about to complete buying a house in Rushden but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the seller of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but my lender will not permit this. Why were they notified?

Your property lawyer being on the bank approved list is obliged to disclose to the mortgage company of any changes to the sale price. In the event that you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the reduction to your bank then they would have no choice but to refrain from representing you and the mortgage company.
