I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Knowle. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (five years built) in Knowle. 95% of the flats are already occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Knowle?
If you getting a mortgage, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Knowle conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Knowle.
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Knowle for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Knowle conveyancing specialists.
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Knowle prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not grant a loan on such a premises.
