Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Caistor

Is the fact that my solicitor in Caistor is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

That would most likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters 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. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Caistor conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Caistor by 27/4/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

Generally one should not give notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and urge them to they apply pressure on the other side, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look to achieve

My husband and I are buying a newly converted flat in Caistor with a homeloan from Britannia.We have a Caistor conveyancing solicitor but Britannia informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Britannia panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Britannia conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Caistor ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a loan on such a home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Caistor. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Caistor to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to commercial tenants, giving them the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Caistor
