Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Ash conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the RBS conveyancing panel?
Ash conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.
I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Ash. My lender is Virgin
Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 29/1/2025, the requirements read as follows :
We are due to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Ash. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this can only occur when the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Ash or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Ash.
We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Ash. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Ash will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Certain additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
We previously instructed conveyancers based in Ash on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate fee for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Ash property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Ash. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ash and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I am a first time buyer in Ash, just starting to look for a house. I will need a Ash conveyancing solicitor. My family lawyer is located in Jersey and unable to assist.Is it possible for you to suggest a good Ash conveyancing practitioner that will act for us as well as represent Nottingham?
The purpose of this site is limited to being a directory service for property lawyers who want to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham in certain areas for instance Ash . Our intention is not to recommend any specific solicitor.
