Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Patcham

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Patcham is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?

That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (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. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Patcham conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Do lawyers request money up-front for conveyancing in Patcham?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Patcham your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is as part of the purchase price then this should be required immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed should be transferred a few days prior to the day of completion.

How does conveyancing in Patcham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Patcham approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Patcham typically 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 property lawyers 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 Patcham or who has acted in the same development.

The primary upside of using a high street Patcham conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Patcham conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Patcham based.
