Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Uppingham

I am buying a semi-detached house in Uppingham. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?

I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Uppingham. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to ascertain if these alterations were previously refused?

Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Uppingham can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

Is it the case that all Uppingham solicitor practices on the Nationwide conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Uppingham bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Uppingham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

We are planning on selling our property in Uppingham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Uppingham. Having lived in Uppingham for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Uppingham for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Uppingham conveyancing specialists.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Uppingham

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Uppingham conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.

My fiance and I are in the market for an affordable conveyancing lawyer in Uppingham to help me sell my place. I I am fearful of appointing the wrong one and there are so many Uppingham conveyancing solicitors out there...how do I know which one is best to select?
