My Conveyancer in Caerwent has never been on on the Barnsley Building Society Approved Panel. Can I still continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Barnsley Building Society approved list?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Caerwent lawyers but Barnsley Building Society will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as cause frustration.
- Get a new practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Persuade your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel
We are planning to move property in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Caerwent. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent but this can only take place once the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Caerwent or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Caerwent.
Is it the case that all Caerwent solicitor firms on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the CLC.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Caerwent off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Skipton. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. 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 Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Caerwent and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Caerwent. We have lived in Caerwent for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
