Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stoke Sub Hamdon

My wife and I are due to complete buying a property in Stoke Sub Hamdon but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Nottingham are not allowing this. Why were they approached?

Any property lawyer being on a Nottingham approved list is obliged to disclose to Nottingham of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Stoke Sub Hamdon.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Stoke Sub Hamdon for our house purchase. Our broker has since notified us that our bank Barnsley Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Lenders in the main imposes restrictions either the type or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have limited the number of firms they permit to represent them. Be aware that Barnsley Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barnsley Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are mixed opinions about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud.

My fiancee and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Stoke Sub Hamdon and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have my lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with HSBC.

It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Stoke Sub Hamdon. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
