Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barbican

When can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Barbican and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?

Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Barbican you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Barbican)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Barbican so that I can attend their offices if required.

These days approved lawyers for mortgage companies carry out all of the communications through Royal Mail, internet or over phone calls.

However you should check if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Barbican. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?

As your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Barbican.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Barbican is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Principality have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Barbican has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Call up Principality or your financial adviser and complete any relevant paperwork. Principality will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to arrange a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Principality will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Barbican.
