Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Settle

Can the conveyancing solicitors that are recommend carry out auction conveyancing in Settle?

We know of a few niche solicitors we can connect you with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Settle is one of the many areas of where our lawyers are based.

I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Settle but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Settle and has limited impact for conveyancing in Settle but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I am assisting my sister sell her house in Settle. Will the conveyancer order an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory element of moving house. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Settle conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established Settle assessors

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Settle. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Settle?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Settle. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

Is it the case that all Settle CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel?

It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.

I require quick conveyancing in Settle as I am faced with an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line in less than 4 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are not obtaining a mortgage you are at free not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Settle the following are examples of issues that can crop up and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am selling a property in Swansea but I am based in Settle. My conveyancer (who is 250 miles awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Settle who can attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Settle

Me and my partner are hoping to buy a 2 room ground floor flatin Settle with a home loan from a mortgage company. We like our lawyer in Settle but our mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our lender panel firms or keep our Settle solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Settle : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
