Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wirksworth

We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Wirksworth?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Wirksworth.

we are a couple who are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Wirksworth with a loan from Nottingham Building Society.We have a Wirksworth conveyancing lawyer but Nottingham Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Nottingham Building Society panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Wirksworth. I have a mortgage offer with Santander. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.

I require expedited conveyancing in Wirksworth as I am under pressure to sign on the dotted line inside 3 weeks. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

Am I right to be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Wirksworth conveyancing company?

As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest conveyancers to use. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of banks have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Wirksworth where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Wirksworth conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
