Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Mayfield?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I am aiming to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Mayfield. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only take place when the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Mayfield or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Mayfield.
Is there a list of Barclays panel conveyancers in Mayfield on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lenders make their panel listings open the public online. If you are looking for a Mayfield property lawyer on the Barclays please make the most of our tool.
We were going to get a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Mayfield solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Mayfield 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.
I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Mayfield. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mayfield and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

A lawyer would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? If so you need to make them aware of the replacement lawyer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. The conveyancer should be on the lenders panel to avoid supplemental costs and complications. That should be your first question of the new lawyers. Our find a solicitor tool will help you find a lender approved conveyancer for your conveyancing in Mayfield
There are only 72 years unexpired on my lease in Mayfield. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Mayfield.
