The housing market in Warminster is hotting up. What can be done to speed up the conveyancing process?
In a situation where you are under time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and know-how. It is possible that they may have transacted previoushouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Warminster conveyancing firm. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is claimed that 18% of Warminster conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the legal process being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home sales every year. Almost all Warminster conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
Me and my partner are purchasing a house in Warminster. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
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.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Warminster 5 years ago have long since closed.What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
