Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Derbyshire

We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Derbyshire listed using your search tool but stumbled across some other estimates on the internet appear less pricey – why is this?

There are numerous solicitors advertising alleged cut-price conveyancing, yet more often than not extracosts end up with the closing fee being escalated. Conveyancers are obliged to make sure that fees set out in terms of engagement should be honest and reasonable invoiced The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Derbyshire set out all charges for the property you intend topurchase.

Will lawyers request money on account for my conveyancing in Derbyshire?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Derbyshire your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this will be asked for shortly prior to exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

We are selling our apartment in Derbyshire. Will the lawyer need to be required to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Derbyshire. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Derbyshire?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Derbyshire. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

My wife and I are spending time looking at flats in Derbyshire and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Clydesdale.

It would be wise to start 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 pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Derbyshire is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Derbyshire prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a loan on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Derbyshire. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Derbyshire and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Derbyshire. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Derbyshire area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Derbyshire. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
