I plan on buying a ground floor flat in Staindrop. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to use my Staindrop conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must appoint a solicitor to complete the formalities when you require a loan to purchase your property. They will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You can select a Staindrop lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the property lawyer selected is not a member of the bank approved list additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

We do have a number of conveyancing experts carrying out one day exchanges. Do e-mail us to get a fee calculation and details as to dates.
How up to date is your search tool for Staindrop conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Do Coventry BS send you an updated list?
Staindrop conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
I am planning on selling our home in Staindrop and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Staindrop lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Staindrop. We have lived in Staindrop for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 ailment)
I today plan to offer on a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have subsequently been informed that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Staindrop. Conveyancing solicitors have are soon to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Staindrop ?
Most houses in Staindrop are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Staindrop so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Staindrop conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the landlord’sconsent to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer will advise you fully on all the issues.
