My home in Faringdon is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative 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 in recent years.
I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Faringdon but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Faringdon
Do not opt for the cheapest Faringdon conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Faringdon. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to determine if these alterations are allowed?
Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Faringdon will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Many works require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Faringdon. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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.

How does conveyancing in Faringdon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Faringdon approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Faringdon typically acquire the real estate, 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 Faringdon or who has acted in the same development.
I was advised by a few property agents in Faringdon to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
