Having sold my house in Brampton last January yet the purchaser is e-mailing me to say his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your solicitor is committed to deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your conveyancer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Brampton.
My Solicitor in Brampton is not listed on the Barnsley Building Society Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Barnsley Building Society panel?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Brampton lawyers but Barnsley Building Society will need to retain a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing charges as well as result in frustration.
- Choose an alternative solicitor to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are on the Barnsley Building Society panel
I have a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Brampton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking National Westminster Bank to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Brampton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

Why can I not complete our conveyancing in Brampton on May bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the money will pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's lawyer and at present this can only occur on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
