I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would prefer to use a local conveyancing solicitor in Parbold?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender to see if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Parbold.
I am helping my mother sell her flat in Parbold. Will the solicitor arrange an EPC or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a required component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that lawyers normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Parbold conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Parbold providers
We had instructed conveyancers with offices in Parbold on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Barclays but by your Parbold conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Barclays panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Parbold on 15/9/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Parbold took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 property 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.

My father has recommend that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Parbold. Should I use them?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to get referrals from friends or family who have actually used the conveyancer you're considering.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Parbold ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Parbold conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Parbold conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
