Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bampton

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Bampton is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Bampton conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Our lawyer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Bampton. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer says that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am purchasing a terraced house in Bampton. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Bampton you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Bampton.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Bampton conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Bampton.

My folks cant seem to find their Bampton property on the HMLR site. They have a vague recollection sixty years ago when they bought the house there were complications regarding the address not being identified on some systems.

The vast majority of properties in Bampton should be revealed. Have you tried a search to simply the postcode. Ordinarily it should mention all the properties within that postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s lender.
