I plan on buying a ground floor flat in Stockbridge. My Conveyancer is not listed on the lender conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Stockbridge conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel?
You will need to use a conveyancer to complete the legal work required when you require a mortgage to purchase your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in order. You can instruct a Stockbridge lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer selected is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel additional costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Stockbridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stockbridge. We have lived in Stockbridge for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Stockbridge for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Stockbridge conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Stockbridge is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Stockbridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Stockbridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stockbridge may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
