is it true that all Gosport solicitor practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being a right pain. The Gosport solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Gosport is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
We are downsizing from our home in Gosport and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Gosport conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gosport. We have lived in Gosport for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Gosport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Gosport contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Gosport tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Gosport or who has acted in the same development.
I have selected a Gosport conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have spotted in the terms and conditions that they are not governed by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be concerned or is that standard with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set stringent laws in place on funds held on client account.
