Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Banbury conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel?
Banbury conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Skipton directly.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Banbury. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should call your conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the bank. Alternatively please call Barnsley Building Society who may be able to assist.
three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Banbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 Banbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Banbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Banbury tend to buy the land, 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 Banbury or who has acted in the same development.
I was pointed in your direction by three or four local estate agents in Banbury to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
