Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barnsley

Is the fact that my solicitor in Barnsley is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Barnsley conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am under pressure from the owner of a property in Barnsley to complete within four weeks. What can be done to quicken up the conveyancing process?

In the event that the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Barnsley conveyancing firm. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Barnsley conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being delayed by almost three weeks. It is estimated that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Barnsley conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check at the outset.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Barnsley?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Barnsley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Barnsley before instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.
