My financial adviser has asked me for my Weldon lawyer’ panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have called my local Weldon branch but they cant find it on their system.
You are best placed to get this information from your Weldon lawyer . Most Weldon conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Can you help? My Weldon solicitor is advising me that he has toconduct Weldon conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Weldon conveyancing searches.
Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to to identify solicitors on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Weldon?
We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
Will my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Weldon.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Weldon. There are those who purchase a property in Weldon, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Weldon. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the owner to determine if the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an incorrect response. The purchaser’s lawyers should also conduct an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Weldon. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Weldon
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I have read on a number of online forums that before selecting a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your lender. I am first time buyer with but I have an AIP with Nat West Bank and I already have a family conveyancing solicitor in Weldon in place. Will Virgin Money insist on an approved solicitor to be used? If so, where can I find that list for my conveyancing in Weldon?
You should choose a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. The simplest thing to do is telephone your preferred Weldon conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not approved you have a number of choices open to you here:
- Proceed with your chosen Weldon conveyancing practitioner but Virgin Money will undoubtedly retain a conveyancing practitioner from their approved panel. The net impact is additional cost together with probable frustration.
- Get a fresh solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your solicitor to attempt to join the bank panel.
