My IFA says he needs my Hagley solicitor’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Hagley office but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Hagley conveyancing practitioner . They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
We were just about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Hagley. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with The Royal Bank of Scotland runs out on 7/4/2026 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 9/4/2026. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this concern is your solicitors who will hopefully determine whether he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage company, seller’s conveyancers, selling agents or conceivably all parties taking into account what has gone on in your house move to date.
The deeds to my house are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Hagley 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
Am I better off to choose a Hagley conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can handle the legal formalities but they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Hagley conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute documents, present your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and the majority were happy that should trump using an unknown Hagley conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
My step-mother purchased her house in Hagley ten years past. She has got married, widowed and is now married again. She now wishes to dispose of the Hagley property. I believe she will just be asked to supply copies of her marriage certificates to the lawyer however she is concerned it will hold up the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the Land Registry information for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the proof required to demonstrate how the name change has come about.
The purchaser’s lawyer will review the title information and require evidence to establish the change of name e.g. marriage documentation.
