Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tetbury

Is it the case that all Tetbury conveyancing solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the TSB conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the CLC.

It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Tetbury bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Tetbury conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Tetbury. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My friend advised me that if I am purchasing in Tetbury I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Tetbury conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out important information about Tetbury around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Tetbury Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Tetbury.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Tetbury 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know precisely where to find all the appropriate documentation so you can purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. If copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Tetbury is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Tetbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tetbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tetbury may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Taking into account that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Tetbury I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor about myhome move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Tetbury.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Tetbury should be the figure that you are charged.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Tetbury

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Tetbury conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
