I am purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Theale who is on the Skipton Building Society approved. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society in certain locations such as Theale. We dont recommend any particular firm.
I just acquired a house at auction in Theale. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Now that you are to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to find a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the deal. All auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer will need. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must hand this to the lawyer instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
We are due to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Theale. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the property agent however this can only be done once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Theale or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Theale.
I have paid off my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Theale conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Theale took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Theale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Theale contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Theale tend to buy 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 property lawyers 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 Theale or who has acted in the same development.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
