Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wheatley

We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a semi detached house in Wheatley. We encountered a snag. The loan offer with Barnsley Building Society expires on 27/10/2026 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 29/10/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to address this issue is your conveyancer who will determine if he or she is should be discussing with the lender, owner’s solicitors, selling agents or indeed all parties based on the history of your house move to date.

My Solicitor in Wheatley has never been on on the Nationwide Building Society Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Nationwide Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

The limited options open to you here include:

  1. Carry on with your preferred Wheatley lawyers but Nationwide Building Society will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional overall legal fees and result in delays.
  2. Find a new practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the Nationwide Building Society panel

Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Wheatley?

Two types of professional can do conveyancing in Wheatley namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can provide conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or purchase of property. They are both obliged to handle Wheatley conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you may be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the requisite procedures should be suitably adhered to.

I am buying a property in Wheatley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Wheatley.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Aldermore are being problematic. The Wheatley solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Wheatley house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Wheatley.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Wheatley ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wheatley. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Wheatley to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
