We are purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Herne Hill who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a 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 Aldermore . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Herne Hill.
We are hoping to buy a newbuild apartment in Herne Hill with a homeloan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We have a Herne Hill conveyancing lawyer but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society informed us her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
I have recentlybeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Herne Hill for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Herne Hill conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Herne Hill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Herne Hill contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Herne Hill tend to buy the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Herne Hill or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking to sell my home. My previous solicitors has retired. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Herne Hill if that makes a difference.
