I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Whitmore. I have a mortgage offer with Barclays. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Whitmore is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I purchased my house on 4 August and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Whitmore said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Whitmore uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Whitmore is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Whitmore differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Whitmore come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Whitmore usually purchase 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 Whitmore or who has acted in the same development.
