How can we know in advance if a Dulverton conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Dulverton getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

I am expecting a OIP from Barclays this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Dulverton solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Dulverton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Dulverton. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Soon after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Dulverton conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Dulverton.

How does conveyancing in Dulverton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Dulverton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Dulverton typically acquire the land, 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 Dulverton or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Dulverton before instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

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