Can I be sure that the Grahame Park conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Grahame Park seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we wish to conduct alterations to our property in Grahame Park. Do we need to choose a local Grahame Park solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Bank of Ireland would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland list.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Grahame Park conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Barclays?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Barclays conducted the survey? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

My partner and I are selling our house in Grahame Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Grahame Park conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Grahame Park. Having lived in Grahame Park for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I am purchasing my first flat in Grahame Park with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

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.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Grahame Park is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Grahame Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Grahame Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grahame Park may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My husband and I are one month into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the local agent to carry out the conveyancing in Grahame Park. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

A solicitor would have to be really poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has the loan offer been issued? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers.
