I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Brynford by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim towards
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Brynford conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Brynford conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Yorkshire BS directly.
My Solicitor in Brynford has never been on on the Coventry Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Coventry Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Brynford solicitors but Coventry Building Society will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal fees and cause frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Coventry Building Society panel
I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Brynford for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Brynford conveyancing specialists.
My step-son is just in the process of moving house, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. When the seller agreed the offer on the flat we telephoned the bank to progress the mortgage application. I was shocked to discover that banks do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they have to be on a list, is this right?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Brynford conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Presumably not.
