I am purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Clarbeston Road who is on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society in certain locations such as Clarbeston Road. We dont recommend any particular firm.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Clarbeston Road. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I'm at the point of looking at houses in Clarbeston Road and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with Aldermore.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Clarbeston Road on 16/9/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Clarbeston Road concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Clarbeston Road differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Clarbeston Road approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Clarbeston Road tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Clarbeston Road or who has acted in the same development.
