Having invested time researching moneysavingexpert.com for a conveyancing solicitor in Plumstead, most comment that I should look for a CQS accredited lawyer. What is CQS?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol Membership covers many organisations who perform conveyancing in Plumstead.
Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Plumstead. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
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.
I am aiming to move property in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Plumstead. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent but this should only be done after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Plumstead or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Plumstead.
Is it correct that all Plumstead CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Skipton conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Plumstead. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Plumstead and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
