I am getting a mortgage with Nat West. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Shinfield. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Can you point me to a directory of Nationwide panel solicitors in Shinfield on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings available on the web. Where you are in need of a Shinfield conveyancer on the Nationwide please make the most of our tool.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Shinfield conveyancing practitioners are chosen. How long does it take for Barclays to issue the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays conducted the valuation? Have you advised Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Clydesdale are being difficult. The Shinfield solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I require expedited conveyancing in Shinfield as I am under pressure to sign on the dotted line in less than 4 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
If.Given you are are a mortgage free purchaser you have the choice not to do searches although no law firm would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Shinfield the following are examples of issues that can show up and therefore impact future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Shinfield and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to business tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Shinfield is one of the hundreds of locations in which the firms we work with have offices
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Shinfield. I've land on a site which seems to have the perfect offering If it is possible to get all formalities done via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
We are in the midst of a leasehold sale of a flat in Shinfield. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune from the freeholder. To date we have paid £237 for a leasehold management information and then a further £200 plus VAT for responses to queries raised by the purchaser's conveyancing practitioner.
Neither you or your property lawyer will have any control over the extent of the charges for this information however the typical costs for the information for Shinfield leasehold premises is £355. For Shinfield conveyancing transactions it is customary for the owner to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to address such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires capped charges for administrative tasks. There is no prescriptive time limit by which they are obliged to provide the information.
