We note that you have a search directory listing firms on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Herefordshire?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Herefordshire.
I am remortgaging my property in Herefordshire, does my lawyer need to be on the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Virgin Money will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Herefordshire. Does the conveyancer commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was retained a required element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned prior to the property being put on the market. It is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Herefordshire conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Herefordshire providers
Is there a list of Leeds Building Society panel solicitors in Herefordshire on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few banks make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are looking for a Herefordshire conveyancing practitioner on the Leeds Building Society please make the most of our facility.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Herefordshire. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
We are downsizing from our home in Herefordshire and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Herefordshire. We have lived in Herefordshire for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Herefordshire concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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.
