My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Dronfield. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Leeds Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?
The first thing you should do is call the solicitor and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call Leeds Building Society who may be able to help.
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Dronfield for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Dronfield conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Dronfield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Dronfield approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Dronfield typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dronfield or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are acquiring a first floor flat in Dronfield. At the point of instructing our solicitor, they assured us that they were on all mainstream bank panels. The financial adviser emailed yesterday to say that they don't seem to be on the TSB approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a new property lawyer that is on their panel or should we pay for separate representation, with TSB selecting their own preferred property lawyer.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancing practitioner has to meet. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancer should contact TSB and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on TSB's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Dronfield solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the equation.
