Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sneyd Park

We have rather pushy vendors who has suggested a lock out contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements promoted for Sneyd Park conveyancing transactions?

This kind of contract isn't frequently used in Sneyd Park, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may gain by breaching the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

I am thinking of refinancing my property in Sneyd Park, does my lawyer have to be on the Principality Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Principality will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

It is true that some lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Sneyd Park. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative 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.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Sneyd Park before retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders will not issue a loan on this type of home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check with the relevant lender.
