Do the conveyancing solicitors that you recommend conduct attended exchange conveyancing in Tetbury?

We do have a number of conveyancing specialists carrying out personalised exchanges. You should e-mail us to receive a conveyancing quote and details as to availability.

We're in Tetbury, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Barclays , and our solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Can you point me to a directory of Skipton panel conveyancers in Tetbury on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings open the public over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Tetbury solicitor on the Skipton please make the most of our facility.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Tetbury conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?

There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS done the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Tetbury bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Tetbury conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the CML Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose impending roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Tetbury?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Tetbury will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Tetbury. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Tetbury.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Tetbury it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may result in delays to Tetbury commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Tetbury.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Tetbury?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Tetbury. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Tetbury

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Tetbury conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
