I am planning to move property in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Cambridge. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this can only be done after the sellers lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Cambridge or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Cambridge.
Is there a list of Principality panel solicitors in Cambridge on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings viewable on the web. Where you are seeking to appoint a Cambridge conveyancer on the Principality please make the most of our tool.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being a right pain. The Cambridge solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society 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.
I purchased my house on 9 November and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Cambridge advises it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Cambridge uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Cambridge registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Cambridge I wish to talk to a conveyancer concerning theconveyancing ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be doing your conveyancing in Cambridge.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a file reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Cambridge should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
I purchased a property in Cambridge last 10/7/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my lawyer told me that it can take one year to complete the registration formalities. I have spoken with HM Land Registry directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. What can I do?
get in touch with your conveyancer - if you are not getting sensible responses, enquire as to their internal complaints protocol and amplify your concerns to a Partner. Registrations for Cambridge conveyancing are not known to be significantly delayed.
