We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Flint who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nationwide . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Flint.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Flint so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
These days conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders conduct the vast majority of communications via Royal Mail, e-mail or over the phone. This enables them to undertake the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in England or Wales. Nevertheless you can see if you have the option of going to the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Flint what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Flint conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being difficult. The Flint solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
Intending to buy a house in Flint. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Flint conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Flint concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
My fiance and I have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will have to pay out an extra fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search facility and we should be able to locate a lawyer in Flint on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
