I am looking for value for money property lawyer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer as opposed to a local Burntwood conveyancing lawyer?

Generally conveyancing lawyers in your location will enjoy strong relationships with your local authority, which can assist with your Burntwood conveyancing searches that your solicitor will need to carry out. It also helps if they have good connections with the Land Registry covering your area Burntwood, other conveyancers in the neighbourhood and Burntwood property agents.

We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Burntwood?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Burntwood.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Burntwood. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Burntwood?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

Can you point me to a directory of UBS panel conveyancers in Burntwood on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable online. If you are seeking to appoint a Burntwood lawyer on the UBS please use our tool.

is it true that all Burntwood solicitor firms on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the CLC.

I am purchasing my first flat in Burntwood with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
