I am not well enough to travel far from Sanderstead. I would like to know the logic why all Sanderstead conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in banks and building societies purging less reputable firms from their official list of approved conveyancing practitioners .
Having invested time scouring online forums for a recommended solicitor in Sanderstead, most comment that I should use a CQS kitemarked lawyer. What is CQS?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a kitemark 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 It includes many partnerships who handle conveyancing in Sanderstead.
We are selling our home in Sanderstead and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Sanderstead conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sanderstead. We have lived in Sanderstead for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Sanderstead?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Sanderstead. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
