Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hale Barns

We are intending to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Hale Barns with a mortgage. We like our Hale Barns solicitor, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to select one of the bank panel solicitors or continue with our Hale Barns conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Hale Barns lawyer ?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Hale Barns conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

The sellers of the house we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing firm in Hale Barns who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

This kind of arrangement is unusual in Hale Barns, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your seller may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Hale Barns took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
