We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Shillington. Do we need to select a local Shillington solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Yorkshire BS do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS panel.
I have instructed a Shillington solicitor having made sure that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Shillington surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Barclays have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Shillington has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will wish to be advised as to your lawyer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Barclays or the broker and finish off any outstanding documentation. Barclays will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Shillington.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Shillington 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. If copies are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Shillington in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Shillington. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Shillington. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
