We are planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Hook who is on the Co-operative approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Hook.
I am planning to move house in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Hook. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only take place after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Hook or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Hook.
How can we tell if a Hook conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hook obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Hook conveyancing practitioners were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS done the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Hook.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Hook. There are those who acquire a property in Hook, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Hook. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Hook 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm remortgaging my existing home to a BTL loan with Bank of Scotland and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on further property. The neighborhood we are talking about is Hook. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the transactions?
Do use our comparison tool on this page to check that the lawyers are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are the lawyer should be able to connect the two transactions but you should talk with you lawyer and make clear your desired outcome and requirements.
