My fiance and I are intent on acquiring property in Woodford Green. My Solicitor is not on the lender solicitor panel. Can I still continue with my Woodford Green conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel?
You have a couple of choices open to you here
- Proceed with your chosen Woodford Green lawyer but your mortgage company will need to appoint a solicitor on their approved panel. This will result in additional fees together with probable interruption.
- Appoint a new conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to do everything possible to join the mortgage company conveyancing panel
I am buying a house mortgage free in Woodford Green. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Woodford Green. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Woodford Green conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where properties with functional issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Woodford Green will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.
My husband and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Woodford Green with a homeloan from Leeds Building Society.We use our Woodford Green conveyancing practitioner but Leeds Building Society informed us his firm is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society
Have completed on a a terraced house in Woodford Green , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Woodford Green conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Woodford Green is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
