Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hillsborough

IfI were to purchase a simple residential propertyin Hillsborough mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Hillsborough?

Any savings you would gain will be isolated to the Hillsborough conveyancing searches. Your conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it won't be meaningful.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Hillsborough. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease does not meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Hillsborough.

I'm in the process of viewing flats in Hillsborough and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have my property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.

It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Hillsborough on 7/1/2026, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

A relative suggested that if I am buying in Hillsborough I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is occasionally included in the estimate for your Hillsborough conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing significant information about Hillsborough around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Hillsborough Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Hillsborough.

I have recentlybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Hillsborough for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the premises 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 Hillsborough conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Hillsborough differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Hillsborough contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Hillsborough usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hillsborough or who has acted in the same development.

My business partner and I are intending to take over a lease of an office on a shopping parade. Can you recommend lawyers offering fixed charges for non-domestic conveyancing in Hillsborough for less than £2000?
