I have just been advised by my estate agent that my Rogiet property lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Rogiet lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
We're in Rogiet, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Principality , and our solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Rogiet completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Rogiet and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Rogiet
As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a residence in Swansea but I am based in Rogiet. My lawyer (based 235 miles awayneeds me to sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Rogiet to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Rogiet based
