We see that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Rogerstone?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Rogerstone.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Rogerstone. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Coventry Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is e-mail the lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please call Coventry Building Society who may be able to confirm.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the primary reason for stalling in Rogerstone house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Rogerstone.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Rogerstone
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Rogerstone conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
Two months into buying a property in Rogerstone. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our home loan valuation?
Rogerstone conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the marketability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your property lawyer.
