Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barlaston

I opted for a Barlaston based solicitor for our conveyancing in Barlaston last week. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I seeI am on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose an on-line conveyancing brokerage promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Barlaston?

You should be mindful that these promotions tend not to protect you from disbursements such as Barlaston conveyancing search fees.

My Solicitor in Barlaston is not on the Bank of Scotland Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Bank of Scotland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Carry on with your existing Barlaston solicitors but Bank of Scotland will need to retain a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal fees and cause delays.
  2. Get an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Bank of Scotland approved.

Do I require this when purchasing a residence in Barlaston? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Barlaston?

Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you can assume that lawyers conducting conveyancing in Barlaston to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Barlaston is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Barlaston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Barlaston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Barlaston may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Is it simple use your search facility to choose a conveyancing practitioner in Barlaston on the panel for my bank?
