My mortgage broker requires my Calstock solicitor’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have contacted my local Calstock branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Calstock lawyer . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
I am helping my niece sell her property in Calstock. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory part of moving property. An EPC should be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally organise. Where you are using a Calstock conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Calstock energy assessors
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Coventry BS. Is it usual for Coventry BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Calstock is approved on their conveyancing panel? Coventry BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Kent Reliance have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Calstock has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Kent Reliance or your financial adviser and complete any outstanding documentation. Kent Reliance will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Kent Reliance will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Calstock.
