Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Woore is not on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Woore conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
IfI were to acquire a freehold propertyin Woore for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Woore?
The only saving you would make on is the Woore conveyancing searches. A solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be meaningful.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Woore. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Woore
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I was recommended by a number of selling agents in Woore to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
How up-to-date is your database of lawyers on the bank conveyancing panel in Woore? Do the banks send you an updated list?
Woore law firm practices and firms carrying out conveyancing in Woore themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the bank conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from the lender directly.
