My financial adviser says he needs my Stroud lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have contacted my local Stroud office but they have not got back to me yet.
You are best placed to get this information from your Stroud conveyancing practitioner . Most Stroud conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
Do the conveyancing practitioners that are recommend handle auction conveyancing in Stroud?
There are a number of auction lawyers we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Stroud is one of our areas of in which our lawyers cover.
I just bought a property at auction in Stroud. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Now that you have legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a tight a fixed date to complete the property. An auction property will have an associated auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Stroud conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. How long does it take for Skipton to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton done the valuation? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Stroud. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Stroud solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
The deeds to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Stroud 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
You no longer need to have the physical deeds to prove you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I have been recommended by a number of property agents in Stroud to locate a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
