My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Dronfield. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should call the conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with The Royal Bank of Scotland who may be able to help.
I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Dronfield for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, 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 property in Dronfield approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Dronfield tend to acquire 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 property lawyers 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 used 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. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. Our financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they don't seem to be on the Barclays approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Barclays selecting their own preferred lawyer.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to meet. Some banks now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Barclays to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Barclays's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Dronfield lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the equation.
