Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leagrave and Chalton

My husband and I are looking to buy a home in Leagrave and Chalton and have instructed a Leagrave and Chalton conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Barclays have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Leagrave and Chalton conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

Where you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Leagrave and Chalton lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
