What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Bamburgh
Two types of professional can perform conveyancing in Bamburgh namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals administer the legal services that required to complete the sale or purchase of property. They are both obliged to carry out Bamburgh conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that all requirements and procedures should be correctly adhered to.
Is it the case that all Bamburgh solicitor firms on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bamburgh bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Bamburgh conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The lawyer has to comply with the CML Handbook section two requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Bamburgh conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Bamburgh conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you talk with two or three firms including non Bamburgh conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
-
What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Bamburgh in the last 12 months?
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Bamburgh, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1999. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Bamburgh with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2088
With 63 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
I have read on numerous online forums that when choosing a conveyancing firm they need approved by your mortgage company. I am new to the process but I have an AIP via Halifax and I already have a high street conveyancing solicitor in Bamburgh at the ready. Can Halifax insist on an approved solicitor to be selected? Does a list of panel solicitors even exist so I can appoint a conveyancing lawyer in Bamburgh?
You should choose a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. Simply ring your preferred Bamburgh conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of alternatives open to you here:
- Carry on with your existing Bamburgh solicitor but Halifax will undoubtedly use a lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with probable delay.
- Get a fresh conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to join the Halifax panel of solicitors.
