When reading moneysavingexpert.com for a conveyancing solicitor in South Normanton, most comment that I should use a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a kitemark for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * compliance with best practice conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol the standard covers many organisations who perform conveyancing in South Normanton.
Is it the case that all South Normanton CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers based in South Normanton on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further sum for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Skipton but by your South Normanton solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in South Normanton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
How does conveyancing in South Normanton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in South Normanton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in South Normanton typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in South Normanton or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. South Normanton is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
