I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Snettisham. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Snettisham even where I’m not buying or selling a house, for example where I wish to buy an office in Snettisham with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society?
Our search tool is predominantly there to select domestic conveyancing solicitors in Snettisham but we have recorded towards the bottom of this page a few Snettisham commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to speak with the solicitors directly to see if they are also authorised to represent Coventry Building Society
I am intent on selling our house in Snettisham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Snettisham conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Snettisham. We have lived in Snettisham for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Snettisham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Snettisham approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Snettisham typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Snettisham or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Snettisham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Snettisham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Is it true that a Snettisham conveyancing company got sued by a client for not carrying out the appropriate conveyancing searches?
We are not aware of such a Snettisham conveyancing claim but it has been reported that, a couple buying a home elsewhere in England successfully sued their lawyer due to development permission to construct a wind farm failing to be picked up in conveyancing searches.
If you are purchasing in Snettisham It is critical that your property lawyer conduct all Snettisham conveyancing searches required to ensure you have relevant and current information before purchasing a home in Snettisham.
