My financial adviser requires my Barnoldswick solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have called my local Barnoldswick office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried speaking to your Barnoldswick conveyancer about this?. Most Barnoldswick law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
I purchased a freehold house in Barnoldswick but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Barnoldswick and has limited impact for conveyancing in Barnoldswick but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.
We are purchasing a flat in Barnoldswick. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Is it the case that all Barnoldswick solicitor practices on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Our offer on a property in Barnoldswick has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Barnoldswick. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Barnoldswick conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the UBS approved list. As to the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Barnoldswick completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Barnoldswick
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Barnoldswick conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
