We see that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Lincoln?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Lincoln.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Lincoln took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
How does conveyancing in Lincoln differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Lincoln approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Lincoln usually buy the site, 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 Lincoln or who has acted in the same development.
Taking into account that I will soon part with £400,000 on a house in Lincoln I would like to talk to a conveyancer regarding thetransaction prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we recommend - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Lincoln.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Lincoln should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
My father has suggested that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Lincoln. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Lincoln conveyancing lawyer the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek guidance from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.
