My fiance and I are hoping to purchase a house in Headley and have instructed a Headley conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our conveyancer 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 Headley solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?
If you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. 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 solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Headley solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Headley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Headley. We have lived in Headley for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 sickness)
The deeds to my property are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Headley 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical original deeds to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
