My mortgage broker has asked me for my Baglan solicitor’s panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Baglan office but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Baglan conveyancer . Most Baglan law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
My brother and I have lately bought a house in Baglan. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Baglan?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Baglan. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Baglan.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Baglan. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Baglan?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Baglan. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I am aiming to move house in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Baglan. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent however this should only take place after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Baglan or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Baglan.
is it true that all Baglan conveyancing solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Santander conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the CLC.
