Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dore

I can't travel far from Dore. I would like to know the logic why all Dore conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all lender panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in banks and building societies culling a number of firms from their official list of approved lawyers .

We are about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Dore. We have hit a snag. The loan offer with Nottingham Building Society expires on 14/10/2026 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 16/10/2026. Can one extend the loan expiry date?

The best person to address this question is your conveyancer who should calculate whether he or she is corresponding with the bank, vendor’s conveyancers, estate agents or indeed all three based on the history of your transaction to date.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Dore. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Dore?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Dore. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

My father advised me that in buying a property in Dore there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to the property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Dore which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Dore should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

is it true that all Dore solicitor practices on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the CLC.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Dore before appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders will not issue a loan on a flying freehold premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Dore. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Dore especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Dore.
