My wife and I are looking to purchase a flat in England Springs and have instructed a England Springs conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Barclays have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our England Springs solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. 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 bank 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 don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own England Springs solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

We are due to move house in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in England Springs. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only take place when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in England Springs or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in England Springs.
I am purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in England Springs. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in England Springs will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Certain extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
The mortgage over my property is with Bank of Ireland for my property in England Springs. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
Bank of Ireland must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. You need not do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
I have recentlydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in England Springs for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of England Springs conveyancing specialists.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in England Springs with the aim of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in England Springs can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. Many freeholders or managing agents in England Springs levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in England Springs. Some England Springs leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a England Springs conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share certificate is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in England Springs state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Where you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in advance.
