Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors

My fiance and I are hoping to acquire a home in Clayton-le-Moors and are in fact using a Clayton-le-Moors conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Bank of Scotland have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Clayton-le-Moors conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Clayton-le-Moors lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in home ownership transfers, trusted by some of the UK's leading mortgage companies. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Building Societies Association (BSA). The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Clayton-le-Moors is one of the many areas of the UK where there are CQS solicitors.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Clayton-le-Moors. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?

Given that you have now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you will need to find a conveyancing solicitor soon as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises.

As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am expecting a AIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Clayton-le-Moors solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Clayton-le-Moors solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.

My partner has urged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Clayton-le-Moors. Should I use them?

There are no two ways about it the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to have guidance from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're contemplating using.

My conveyancers in Clayton-le-Moors have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
