I am buying a garden flat in Hagley. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Hagley you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Hagley.
is it true that all Hagley solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Hagley conveyancing lawyers are appointed. How long does it take for Aldermore to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
My husband and I are spending time viewing houses in Hagley and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with Coventry BS.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
