I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer rather than a high street Faringdon conveyancing solicitor?
Existing third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Faringdon law firms benefit from long term relationships with mortgage brokers and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Possessing specialist intelligence of the local area also helps too.
Is there a list of Santander panel solicitors in Faringdon on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Faringdon conveyancing practitioner on the Santander please make the most of our facility.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Faringdon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore 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 Faringdon property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Faringdon has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Yorkshire BS or the broker and finish off any relevant paperwork. Yorkshire BS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Faringdon.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Faringdon completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 asset 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.

Make use of our search tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are approved by both banks.
