Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sedbergh

It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Sedbergh. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may stored with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Sedbergh involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

My Solicitor in Sedbergh is not on the Barclays Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Barclays panel?

The limited options open to you here include:

  1. Complete the purchase with your existing Sedbergh lawyers but Barclays will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges as well as cause frustration.
  2. Find a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Barclays panel

Is it the case that all Sedbergh conveyancing solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am purchasing a property in Sedbergh. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Sedbergh.

The search should reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic headings.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Sedbergh it brings up many property lawyersin the area. How do I determine which is the right conveyancer for my move?

Myself and my partner have just had an offer agreed on a property and had meeting on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of solicitors then we will be subject to an an extra fee of £250+. This is because they would then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You should ask Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Sedbergh on the approved list for Nationwide.
