My financial adviser has requested my Romford law firm’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Romford branch but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried contacting your Romford conveyancer about this?. Most Romford law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
I am selling my flat in Romford. Will the solicitor have to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Romford. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you are now exchanged you must retain a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you now have a tight a fixed date to complete the transaction. An auction property will have a bespoke legal pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
We are planning to move property in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Romford. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent however this can only be done once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Romford or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Romford.
Is it the case that all Romford solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the CLC.
I own a terraced Victorian property in Romford. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Romford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we use their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Romford
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Romford conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
