Please help. My Thame conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toconduct Thame conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my conveyancer correct?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Thame conveyancing searches.
We are buying a house in Thame. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Co-operative as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Thame. Are we obliged to select a local Thame solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Co-operative don't usually instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Thame on 6/3/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Are UBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Thame for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see 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 Thame conveyancing specialists.
