Will lawyers ask for money up-front for my conveyancing in Hillsborough?

If you are buying a property in Hillsborough your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is as part of the sale price then this should be needed shortly before exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due will be payable a few days prior to the completion date.

Can you point me to a directory of UBS panel solicitors in Hillsborough on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings visible over the internet. Where you are in need of a Hillsborough property lawyer on the UBS please use our tool.

We were going to get a DIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Hillsborough solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Hillsborough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Hillsborough. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

My cousin has suggested that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Hillsborough. Should I find my own property lawyer?
