I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Catton. I I would like to check if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing to do is contact the solicitor and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call Barclays who may be able to help.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Catton conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for Nationwide to forward the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nationwide done the survey? Have you advised Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We were going to get a OIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Catton solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Catton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
Our sealed bid on a property in Catton has been agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Catton. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Catton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the UBS approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Catton.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Catton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Catton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Catton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Catton may decide 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.
Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Catton I wish to talk to a lawyer concerning theconveyancing before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer who will be doing your conveyancing in Catton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Catton should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
We are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Catton. I am am starting to be disappointed with the level of service. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
They would need to be really poor to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new conveyancer and get the offer are re-sent. Your conveyancer should be on the lenders panel to avoid escalating charges and delays. That should be your starting point.

Do I stop the direct debit for my mortgage with Bank of Ireland as soon as a completion date for my sale in Catton has been set?
You would be well advised to continue meeting any mortgage payments to Bank of Ireland until the mortgage is repaid out of the proceeds of sale as part of your Catton conveyancing.
