I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Easthampstead. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Easthampstead costs more?
The conveyancing costs on a leasehold premises in Easthampstead is often greater than on a freehold property. This is due to the additional time required in liaising with the landlord and management company to collate the information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been paid and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
The Easthampstead conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Easthampstead have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the RBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Easthampstead lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for £250 in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to help.
How does conveyancing in Easthampstead differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Easthampstead approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Easthampstead typically buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Easthampstead or who has acted in the same development.
