My friend's dad is a conveyancing practitioner. I anticipate that I will be offered mate’s fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Rochester?
Do contrast pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. Whilst amounts will vary but service levels do differ between property lawyers as is true with most professions.
I am hoping to move into my new home in Rochester next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Rochester.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of hinderance in Rochester house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Rochester.
I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Rochester for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, 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 Rochester conveyancing specialists.
Are there any apps to assist me to locate a Rochester law firm on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel? I have a car and am willing to travel upto 25kilometers to meet the lawyer.
