Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Mapperley who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The costs illustration is slightly on the expensive side. If you are content to invest time comparing quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £125. On the other hand, assuming were satisfied with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to ensure that the solicitor can act for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.

My partner and I are refinancing our apartment in Mapperley with Co-operative. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Co-operative conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Co-operative. This is solely used to protect Co-operative if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Co-operative had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
Is it the case that all Mapperley CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Barclays conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Mapperley solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Mapperley accepted, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Mapperley. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with UBS going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Mapperley conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the UBS approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Mapperley 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know precisely where to find all the appropriate paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be found, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.
Given that I am about to spend 450k on a garden flat in Mapperley I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thehouse move before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Mapperley.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Mapperley should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
