Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rotherham

In looking at mumsnet.com for an affordable solicitor in Rotherham, most post that I must use a CQS assured solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?

Rotherham Conveyancing Quality Scheme law firms have been granted accreditation under the Law Society's Scheme (CQS) The Law Society introduced CQS to establish evidence of quality standards in the home legal process. CQS helps buyers and sellers to identify solicitor firms who provide a quality residential conveyancing. Rotherham is one of the many areas in England and Wales in which CQS have a presence.

About to purchase a new build flat in Rotherham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rotherham

    Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Rotherham before retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will not give a loan on this type of house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Rotherham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My brother has encouraged me to use his conveyancers in Rotherham. Do I follow his recommendation?

No doubt it’s preferable to find a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm you're contemplating using.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
