It is is a decade since I bought my house in Summerhill. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may be archived with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Summerhill relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Summerhill. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Summerhill?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Summerhill. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Are all Summerhill Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership 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 remain on their approved list of firms.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as HSBC, do Summerhill conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Summerhill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Summerhill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Summerhill registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
