My fiance and I are intent on buying residence in Sileby. My Solicitor is not on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Sileby conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank approved list?
You have a couple of choices open to you here
- Carry on with your existing Sileby solicitor but your mortgage company will need to retain a solicitor from their approved panel. This will result in additional charges together with likely interruption.
- Choose a fresh conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to do everything possible to get accepted on the lender’s conveyancing panel
Can you vouch for a Barnsley Building Society approved Sileby conveyancing firm who can have us moved in within a short deadline? Would it be better to use a high street Sileby solicitor or a national comparison site?

It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Sileby. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Sileby involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Sileby for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Sileby conveyancing specialists.

What are the common deficiencies that you see in leases for Sileby properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Sileby is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
I am the registered owner of a 2 bed flat in Sileby, conveyancing was carried out March 2004. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Sileby with a long lease are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2088
With 63 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
