Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wilford

My IFA has asked me for my Wilford solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have called my local Wilford office but they have not responded to me.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Wilford conveyancing practitioner . Most Wilford conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Wilford?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Wilford and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Wilford an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

There is a distinct creep of a "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being a right pain. The Wilford solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Wilford on 29/4/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Wilford solicitor - who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Wilford surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

A colleague advised me that if I am buying in Wilford I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Wilford conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Wilford around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Wilford Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Wilford.

I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Wilford for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wilford conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Wilford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Wilford come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Wilford usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wilford or who has acted in the same development.
