Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bury

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Bury is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack 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 Bury conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.

I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Bury. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
