We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Eaglescliffe listed using your search tool but stumbled across some other estimates via the web seem less pricey – why is this?

One can find numerous conveyancing organisations promoting pretending to offer £99 conveyancing, but supplementalfees end up with the final bill markedly uplifted.

My partner and I intend to remortgage our penthouse in Eaglescliffe with Nottingham. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Nottingham had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Eaglescliffe. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Am I better off to appoint a Eaglescliffe conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can deal with the conveyancing but they are based over three hundred miles away.

The primary upside of using a local Eaglescliffe conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Eaglescliffe know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were happy that should surpass using an unknown Eaglescliffe conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.

My partner and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Eaglescliffe. At the time of instructing our solicitor, they told us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. The mortgage broker contacted us today to advise that they don't appear to be on the Clydesdale approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just find a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we pay for separate representation, with Clydesdale appointing their own approved lawyer.

When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should contact Clydesdale and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Clydesdale's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Eaglescliffe lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
