Can you suggest a Santander allowed Smithfield conveyancing solicitor that can complete within 10 days? Am I best advised to choose a local Smithfield solicitor or an internet conveyancer?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Smithfield conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the high street in Smithfield. Approach some well established law practices and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Mention your deadline together with your reasons and ask for an assurance on your deadline. Choose the lawyer that you trust.
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Nottingham as we wish to carry out alterations to our property in Smithfield. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Smithfield solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Nottingham do not ordinarily instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Smithfield. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
TSB have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Smithfield has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Contact TSB or your broker and complete any outstanding paperwork. TSB will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to get a mortgage offer. TSB will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Smithfield.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Smithfield took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 residence 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Smithfield is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Smithfield are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Smithfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Smithfield may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Smithfield and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides protection to business lessees, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Smithfield is one of the many locations in which the firms we work with have offices
