What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Kimbolton

There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Kimbolton and Solicitor firms in Kimbolton to choose from We would stress that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in transferring property. Both can handle associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.

I am purchasing a property in Kimbolton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Barclays where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Kimbolton.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Lloyds are being pedantic. The Kimbolton solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

We are planning on selling our home in Kimbolton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Kimbolton conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Kimbolton. Having lived in Kimbolton for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Kimbolton

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Kimbolton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Kimbolton based conveyancer who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. How simple is it to change conveyancer?

In the event that you have not formally appointed a solicitor to commence the conveyancing and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Kimbolton that you're considering.
