I am considering mortgaging my home in Ickenham, does my lawyer need to be on the Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the conveyancing panel, but would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Ickenham. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ickenham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Is it the case that all Ickenham conveyancing solicitors on the conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Can I be sure that the Ickenham conveyancing solicitor on the panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Ickenham obtaining recommendations is a good start. 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.
We are selling our property in Ickenham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ickenham. Having lived in Ickenham for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Ickenham. I am not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?
A solicitor would have to be very bad in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you will need to inform them of the new contact details and get the offer are issued to the new lawyers. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating expenses and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
