I am getting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Potters Bar. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Me and my partner are about to complete buying a house in Potters Bar but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Aldermore will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?
The lawyer being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Aldermore of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Potters Bar.
We are intent on selling our property in Potters Bar and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Potters Bar lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Potters Bar. We have lived in Potters Bar for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to 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 sickness)
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Potters Bar ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks may not grant a mortgage on this type of property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Potters Bar. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Potters Bar especially if they are familiar with such properties in Potters Bar.
Is it possible to swap solicitor as I need to instruct one who is on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. I had appointed a local conveyancing solicitor in Potters Bar five minutes from me but she is not approved by Barnsley Building Society
