Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Birstall

There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Birstall but how do I know who's good?

It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Birstall conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Birstall solicitor on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Birstall bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Birstall conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Your lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I need some quick conveyancing in Birstall as I am under pressure to complete in less than one month. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Birstall the following are examples of issues that can arise and therefore impact future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

I used Action Conveyancing a few years past for my conveyancing in Birstall. I now require my papers but the law firm has closed. What do I do?

You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Birstall of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

I was pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Birstall to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Birstall. I happened to chance upon a site which looks to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all the legals done via email that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Been reading online that Birstall solicitors are more costly than Birstall conveyancers in Birstall when it comes to buying a house. Am I better off using a conveyancer or a solicitor where I am purchasing a property in Birstall.

When it comes to conveyancing in Birstall the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
