Would the conveyancing practitioners that you recommend execute auction conveyancing in Bishopsworth?
There are a number of niche solicitors we can put you in touch with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Bishopsworth is just one of our areas of in which our lawyers cover.
Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Bishopsworth. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Bishopsworth. The Bishopsworth property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation primarily exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being pedantic. The Bishopsworth solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian house in Bishopsworth. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bishopsworth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I was recommended by a number of property agents in Bishopsworth to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but I am based in Bishopsworth. My conveyancer (approximately 300 kilometers awayneeds me to execute a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Bishopsworth who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Bishopsworth
