I am expecting a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Ramsbottom. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Ramsbottom who is on the HSBC Bank approved. 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 listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank in certain locations such as Ramsbottom. We dont recommend any particular firm.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Ramsbottom and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ramsbottom. Having lived in Ramsbottom for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Ramsbottom differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ramsbottom contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Ramsbottom typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ramsbottom or who has acted in the same development.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Ramsbottom. I've chance upon a site which appears to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
