I am expecting a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Archway. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Archway and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Archway conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Archway. We have lived in Archway for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I'm remortgaging my primary house to a buy to let mortgage with Britannia and intend to use the remaining equity towards another property. The area we are talking about is Archway. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two lenders and tie in the transactions?
Do use our comparison tool on this page to be sure that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are your lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you conveyancer and make clear your expectations and needs.
As co-executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a residence in Cardiff but live in Archway. My lawyer (based 250 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Archway who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Archway
Why is New Build conveyancing in Archway more expensive?
Acquiring a new build home is significantly different from the normal house purchase conveyancing in Archway. For a start housebuilders normally demand contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, the result being a lot of pressure on your solicitor to ensure everything is in order. In addition new build conveyancing frequently involve the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage lender obligations are also more detailed. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
