I am about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Middlewich but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the seller of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Barclays are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Any solicitor that is on a Barclays approved list is obliged to advise Barclays of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Middlewich.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Middlewich for our house purchase. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage company Santander won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
A mortgage company may direct that a panel solicitor act for it. Borrowers are liable to meet the charges for this. Try using our database to find a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Middlewich on the Santander member panel.
Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Middlewich. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Does a directory service exist listing Skipton panel conveyancers in Middlewich on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings available over the internet. If you are in need of a Middlewich property lawyer on the Skipton please make the most of our facility.
I am expecting a DIP from UBS 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 UBS recommend any Middlewich solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Middlewich solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
I am buying a new build flat in Middlewich. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Middlewich before retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Middlewich.

I'm selling a apartment in Middlewich. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
