Having sold my house in Beverley last May yet the purchaser is Skype messaging daily to moan that his solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Following your house sale your conveyancer is obliged to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Beverley.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Beverley
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Beverley and Solicitor partnerships in Beverley who provide Conveyancing services It is important to make clear that the two are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal aspects of the home buying process. Both can deal with associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Principality, do Beverley solicitors face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Does a directory service exist listing Clydesdale panel solicitors in Beverley on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings visible online. If you are seeking to appoint a Beverley conveyancer on the Clydesdale please make the most of our facility.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Beverley in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Beverley. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Beverley
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Beverley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Beverley being on the lender conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our mortgage company?
We are not in the business of recommending one firm above another as the right Beverley conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Beverley knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
