I am purchasing a house for cash in South Oxhey. I have been living for the last 15 years in South Oxhey. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the South Oxhey conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in South Oxhey should be able to give you some sensible advice concerning this.
I am considering applying for a Clydesdale mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in South Oxhey with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Clydesdale will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I am aiming to move home in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in South Oxhey. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only happen once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in South Oxhey or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in South Oxhey.
Can I be sure that the South Oxhey conveyancing solicitor on the Nationwide panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in South Oxhey seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my South Oxhey building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My South Oxhey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
