After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Farringdon. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Farringdon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Farringdon property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Farringdon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Farringdon come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Farringdon usually purchase the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Farringdon or who has acted in the same development.
Should I appoint a Farringdon conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal work however they are based over three hundred miles away.
The primary upside of using a high street Farringdon conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were impressed that should trump using an unfamiliar Farringdon conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Farringdon based.
