Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Batheaston

We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Batheaston with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Batheaston lawyer, however the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to select one of the bank panel firms or keep our Batheaston conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Batheaston conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My father pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Batheaston there could be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to the property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Batheaston which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Batheaston should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Batheaston. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Batheaston on 24/12/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to TSB and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Are TSB entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

We are downsizing from our home in Batheaston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Batheaston. We have lived in Batheaston for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 ailment)

I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Batheaston for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Batheaston and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Batheaston. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Batheaston area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Batheaston. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

Been on the hunt for a conveyancer for freehold sale conveyancing in Batheaston. I'm selling, simple no mortgage to discharge, no rush, currently empty. Received a quote from a lawyer for a thousand pounds excluding VAT which is a little expensive given that its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Batheaston?

Given that it’s a sale only, £450 + VAT should be about the lowest for a Batheaston solicitor firm.
