Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sturminster Newton

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Sturminster Newton is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Sturminster Newton conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Sturminster Newton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Sturminster Newton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Sturminster Newton who is on the Nottingham Building Society solicitor. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society in certain locations such as Sturminster Newton. We dont recommend any particular firm.

My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Sturminster Newton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Sturminster Newton conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sturminster Newton. We have lived in Sturminster Newton for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Sturminster Newton 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Sturminster Newton. I happened to chance upon a site which looks to be the perfect offering If it is possible to get all formalities completed via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
