Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mitcheldean

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Mitcheldean is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Mitcheldean conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

My partner and I have recently purchased a property in Mitcheldean. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Mitcheldean?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Mitcheldean. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Mitcheldean.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of obstruction in Mitcheldean conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Mitcheldean.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mitcheldean before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant mortgage company.

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be doing your conveyancing in Mitcheldean.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case reference.
