We went with a Petersham based solicitor for our conveyancing in Petersham last week. Reviewing the fine print I notewe are on the hook for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line lawyer who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Petersham?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that abort. Dont forget that these offerings tend not to protect you from expenditure for example Petersham conveyancing search costs.
We are approaching an exchange on a flat in Petersham and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
Your lawyer is obliged to check with lender to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Petersham who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Lloyds . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Petersham.
I am considering refinancing my home in Petersham, does my lawyer have to be on the Coventry BS Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Petersham 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
