Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Croston

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Croston is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Croston conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Our Croston solicitor has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance right?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I used Stirling Law a few years ago for my conveyancing in Croston. Now, I need my documents however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Do call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Croston of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously used, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

How does conveyancing in Croston differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Croston approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Croston usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Croston or who has acted in the same development.

What does commercial conveyancing in Croston cover?

Croston conveyancing for business premises covers a broad array of guidance, provided by qualified solicitors, relating to business property. For example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.
