My wife and I are buying a flat in Bewdley. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are due to move property in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Bewdley. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent however this can only take place when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Bewdley or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Bewdley.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Bewdley conveyancing practitioners have been selected. How long does it take for Santander to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander conducted the valuation? Have you advised Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Bewdley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Bewdley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bewdley contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Bewdley typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Bewdley or who has acted in the same development.
