We were going to get a AIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Romney solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Romney solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Romney has been agreed to, what happens next?
The property agent will want to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up RBS or the broker and finalise any appropriate paperwork. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. RBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Romney.
I moved into my home on 7 May and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Romney advises it will be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Romney particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Romney registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
