I am in the throes of changing my current residential loan to a BTL TSB mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I require a conveyancer for this. I spoke to the same England Springs conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I initially acquired the property. The fee estimate issued of just over five hundred pounds has surprised me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The charges are a bit high. If you shop around you may be able to reduce the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were content with the service the firm provided you maylive to rue opting for an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to check that the firm can represent TSB. Do make use of our search tool to locate a England Springs conveyancing firm on the TSB approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in England Springs.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in England Springs. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in England Springs?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in England Springs. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in England Springs. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to determine if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in England Springs will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or require the consent of another owner. Some additions call for local authority planning consent 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 things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Is it the case that all England Springs solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My partner and I are downsizing from our house in England Springs and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in England Springs. We have lived in England Springs for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in England Springs?

Some months ago I was advised by my mortgage company that their approved lawyers operate no move no charge basis for conveyancing in England Springs. I had a purchase abort yet the solicitors have invoiced for search fees! They say the fees are independent!
By offering "no sale no fee" England Springs conveyancing lawyers are foregoing their charges for any work carried out.
