We see that you have a search directory listing law firms on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Derbyshire?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Derbyshire.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Derbyshire. I I would like to check whether they are on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should phone the conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should get in touch with Nationwide Building Society who may be able to help.
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the primary reason for stalling in Derbyshire conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Derbyshire.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Derbyshire with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My mother completed her conveyancing in Derbyshire in 2007. She has been married, widowed and in recent months got remarried. She now wants to dispose of the Derbyshire property. I suspect that she will simply be need to provide a copy of her marriage papers to the conveyancing practitioner however she is anxious it will hold up the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the title documents for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the register providing you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the change of name has come about.
Any buyer’s property lawyer should review the registered entries and ask for evidence to prove the change of name for example marriage documentation.
