Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Hazlemere. I would like to know the logic why all Hazlemere property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies culling less reputable firms from their books of approved solicitors .
Having sold my house in Hazlemere last February yet the purchaser is whats apping every few hours to say their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your solicitor is committed to send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor should also evidence that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Hazlemere.
I am intent on selling our home in Hazlemere and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Hazlemere lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hazlemere. We have lived in Hazlemere for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Hazlemere differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hazlemere contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Hazlemere typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Hazlemere or who has acted in the same development.
