Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cirencester

My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Cirencester and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to check with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Cirencester. I I would like to check whether they are on the Barnsley Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

As far as conveyancing in Cirencester registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Cirencester

Cirencester conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally necessitates fees being invoiced by managing agents :

    Completing pre-contract enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Cirencester Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Cirencester leasehold property is £350. For Cirencester conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs.
