Please could you recommend a Godiva Mortgages Ltd accepted Borehamwood conveyancing lawyer who can have us moved in within under 3 weeks? Am I best advised to unstruct a local Borehamwood conveyancer or a nationwide firm?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Borehamwood conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the high street in Borehamwood. Visit two or three firms and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Explain your requirements together with the reasons and ask for a commitment on your deadline. Appoint the lawyer that you trust.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Borehamwood. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Borehamwood?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Borehamwood. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Is it the case that all Borehamwood CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We previously instructed solicitors based in Borehamwood on the TSB solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by TSB but by your Borehamwood conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Is there anything unique about your site and other internet conveyancing brokers for conveyancing in Borehamwood?
At this site receive an accurate costs illustration from a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that appreciates the issues of your conveyancing in Borehamwood. Unlike many estate agents and many comparison sites we do not operate referral arrangements with solicitors. A large number of agents and online brokers 'recommend' solicitors who pay the most kickback, rather than the best value conveyancing in Borehamwood
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Borehamwood
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Borehamwood conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
My in 2006. He has been married, divorced and in recent months got remarried. He now wishes to the sell the Borehamwood property. I suspect that he will just be asked to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner but he is worried it could delay the home sale. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the property?
The is no need to bring up to date the register providing you have the proof needed to show how the change of name has come about.
The buyer’s conveyancing practitioner will check the land registry information and need evidence by way of proof of the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
