My Conveyancer in Oakley is not on the Britannia Solicitor Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Britannia panel?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Complete the purchase with your preferred Oakley lawyers but Britannia will need to retain a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional overall legal charges as well as cause delays.

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Oakley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Oakley. Having lived in Oakley for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should 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)

I have todaydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Oakley for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make 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 Oakley conveyancing specialists.

I was recommended by two or three local property agents in Oakley to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any commission for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am 17 days into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Oakley. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?

They would have to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the replacement lawyer and get the offer are re-sent. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks panel to avoid added charges and delays. So that should be your starting point. Our search tool should assist you in finding a lender approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Oakley

I purchased a property in Oakley last 3/7/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HMLR. It is part of a development site and my lawyer told me that it may take 12 months to complete the registration formalities. I have called the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Do I need to be concerned?

It is your conveyancing practitioner that you really need to get in touch with in order to satisfy any concerns which have been raised as part of the registration formalities for your Oakley property. Normal Oakley conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s conveyancing practitioner that they will help resolve any requirements raised by HMLR so it may be a case of seeking to enforce that undertaking in some way.
