Reasons to use our Rutland conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Our site is the first site offering you the facility to check that your property ownership legalities in Rutland will be carried out by a property lawyer on your lender’s conveyancing panel.
  • 2 Solicitor conveyancing lawyers have extremely good personal connections with Rutland selling agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 3 Excellent communication together with pure property expertise are key benefits that you should look for when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Rutland home moves can become significantly more protracted as a result of lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers listed ensure that the lines of communication are open and act on arising issues and developments quickly.
  • 4 The organisations shown on our directory have a variation of conveyancing lawyers, legal executives and support staff handling thousands of conveyancing matters annually.
  • 5 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Rutland is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rutland

I am getting a mortgage offer from Nat West. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Rutland. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?

The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

My husband and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Rutland and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?

Your solicitor is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My Solicitor in Rutland has never been on on the The Royal Bank of Scotland Solicitor Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the The Royal Bank of Scotland list of approved lawyers?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Complete the purchase with your preferred Rutland solicitors but The Royal Bank of Scotland will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges as well as result in delays.
  2. Choose an alternative practitioner to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are The Royal Bank of Scotland approved.
  3. Try to convince your The Royal Bank of Scotland solicitor to seek to join the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Rutland what would it be?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Rutland conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

My wife and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Nottingham as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Rutland. Do we need to appoint a nearby Rutland solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Nottingham do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel 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 Nottingham list.

UBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Rutland has been agreed to, what happens next?

Your property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone UBS or the financial adviser and finalise any outstanding paperwork. UBS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. UBS will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rutland.
