Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cookham

Finally the sale completed on my house in Cookham last October yet the purchaser is telephoning me to say his conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

After completion of your disposal your lawyer is obliged to deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Cookham.

My fiance and I are purchasing a purpose built flat in Cookham with a homeloan from Barnsley Building Society.We like our Cookham conveyancing solicitor but Barnsley Building Society informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Cookham before retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on such a home.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but live in Cookham. My solicitor (who is 250 miles awayneeds me to sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Cookham who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Cookham
