Is the fact that my solicitor in Hazlemere is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (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. If you are concerned you should simply call the Hazlemere conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
I am due to move property in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Hazlemere. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this can only happen after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Hazlemere or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hazlemere.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Hazlemere. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being a right pain. The Hazlemere solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Hazlemere 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.
I'm remortgaging my existing property to a BTL loan with Yorkshire Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a deposit on another house. The neighborhood we are looking at is Hazlemere. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two banks and link together the two deals?
Make use of our search tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are approved by both lenders. Assuming that they are the solicitor should be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you lawyer and communicate your desired outcome and requirements.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Hazlemere. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Hazlemere - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
