Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Egremont

I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Egremont solicitor is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?

You need to call your Egremont lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.

My partner and I have lately acquired a property in Egremont. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Egremont?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Egremont. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Egremont.

Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Egremont conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

Egremont conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Yorkshire BS directly.

My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Egremont and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Egremont lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Egremont. Having lived in Egremont for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Egremont I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Egremont for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am looking for a conveyancing solicitor in Egremont for my house move. Is there any facility to check a firm’s record with the profession’s regulator?

One can search for published Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions resulting from inquisitions commenced on or after 1 January 2008. Go to Check a solicitor's record.
