Are you able to recommend a Alliance & Leicester accepted Stratford conveyancing solicitor that can complete within less than a month? Am I best advised to choose a local Stratford solicitor or a factory type firm?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Stratford conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the main road in Stratford. Approach a couple of law practices and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Mention your expectations together with your reasons and get an assurance on your deadline. Appoint the one that you are most comfortable with.
We note that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Stratford?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Stratford.
My husband and I intend to purchase a 1 bedroom flat in Stratford with a loan from The Mortgage Works.We would like to retain our Stratford conveyancing lawyer but The Mortgage Works advised that her practice is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a The Mortgage Works panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works
I require fast conveyancing in Stratford as I am under a deadline to exchange contracts inside one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
If.Given you are not getting a home loan you are at free not to do searches although no solicitor would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Stratford the following are examples of what can show up and adversely impact future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
I used Action Conveyancing a few years ago for my conveyancing in Stratford. Now, I need the documents but the law firm has closed. What do I do?
You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Stratford of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously instructed, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Stratford
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Stratford conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
