My financial adviser has requested my Silsworth lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Silsworth office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Silsworth conveyancer . Most Silsworth law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
AssumingI were to purchase a straightforward homein Silsworth for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Silsworth?
Any savings you would gain will be limited to the Silsworth conveyancing searches. A conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it won't be significant.
Me and my brother have a terraced Georgian house in Silsworth. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Silsworth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Silsworth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Silsworth contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Silsworth usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Silsworth or who has acted in the same development.

Builders have suggested I use a solicitor and I've obtained a quote from them. They are nearly £250 cheaper than my own Silsworth conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Builders often have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they demand an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Silsworth lawyer.
