Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Conisbrough

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a property in Conisbrough and are in fact using a Conisbrough conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Birmingham Midshires have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Conisbrough solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers 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 Quality 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 solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Conisbrough solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

We see that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Conisbrough?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Conisbrough.

We are downsizing from our home in Conisbrough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Conisbrough conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Conisbrough. We have lived in Conisbrough for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Conisbrough differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Conisbrough contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Conisbrough usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Conisbrough or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Conisbrough before retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Conisbrough. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Conisbrough especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Conisbrough.

My partner and I are in the market for an affordable conveyancing lawyer in Conisbrough to purchase a flat. I I am concerned about by bill escalating out of control but with plenty Conisbrough conveyancing organisations to choose from...who's the best?

Where you have not instructed a conveyancing practitioner before, a personal recommendation via relatives or friends is a great place to start and is often a good barometer of quality. Alternatively, view the Law Society’s regional list of conveyancing solicitors in Conisbrough or make the most of our search tool to find a conveyancing lawyer in Conisbrough.
