I am considering refinancing my apartment in Enfield Highway, does my lawyer have to be on the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, but Virgin Money would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Me and my partner are buying a property in Enfield Highway. I might seem paranoid 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 deposit?
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.
Can you point me to a directory of Santander panel solicitors in Enfield Highway on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings viewable on the web. Where you are looking for a Enfield Highway conveyancer on the Santander please use our tool.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Enfield Highway building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Enfield Highway conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
We are intent on selling our home in Enfield Highway and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Highway. Having lived in Enfield Highway for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am selling my property. My past conveyancers closed down. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Enfield Highway if that makes things easier.
