Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Pelsall can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain alterations or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Many works require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations.

Is it the case that all Pelsall solicitor firms on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the CLC.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Pelsall building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Pelsall conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Should my conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Pelsall.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Pelsall. There are those who acquire a house in Pelsall, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Pelsall. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also commission an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Pelsall concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 residence 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.

Am I best advised to appoint a Pelsall conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can deal with the conveyancing however her office is 200kilometers drive away.
