We went with a Copthorne based firm for our conveyancing in Copthorne today. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I seeI am responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct a web based conveyancing company who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Copthorne?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise the conveyances that do not proceed. Please beware that these deals generally do not protect you from disbursements for example Copthorne conveyancing search costs.
We are looking to buy a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Copthorne who is on the Yorkshire BS approved panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Copthorne.
We are planning to move house in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Copthorne. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this should only happen when the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Copthorne or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Copthorne.
I am expecting a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Copthorne solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Copthorne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
My sealed bid on a semi in Copthorne has been agreed to, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Copthorne. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nottingham started?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Copthorne conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Copthorne.
I completed on my flat on 11 March and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Copthorne said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Copthorne uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Copthorne registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Should I be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Copthorne conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often input from connections can be most helpful. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most lenders specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
