We wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Yarm with a loan from Barnsley Building Society.We use our Yarm conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society advised that he's not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?

No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Barnsley Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Yarm. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Yarm?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

Can I be sure that the Yarm conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Yarm seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.

I have instructed a Yarm conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Yarm postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Yarm.

I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when purchasing a house in Yarm? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel within the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Yarm?

Unless a prior acquisition of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers handling conveyancing in Yarm to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but I am based in Yarm. My lawyer (who is 235 kilometers from merequires that I sign a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Yarm who can attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Yarm based

A licensed conveyancer dealt with my conveyancing in Yarm half a dozen years ago having archived my deeds but has now closed – What steps do I now take to get hold of them?

Deeds, as such, no longer exist as most homes in Yarm are registered digitally at Land Registry. If you need to show ownership or are disposing of or refinancing your solicitor can obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.

If you feel there may be other documents or you have any other queries please e-mail your request with details of the transaction and documents you need to filerequest@clc-uk.org. The CLC will let you know what information they have and any additional information they may need before they are in a position to identify and send the documents to you. Following an intervention it may take some time for the CLC to access archived files and documents, but your request will be actioned as quickly as possible.
